Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Ok, here's the deal. I am a 35 year old female who has had Radiesse to fill out lost volume in cheeks and in upper N/L folds by nose. The first time I did it was with my fancy NY plastic surgeon.
He numbed me in through my mouth with a block and then injected Radiesse orally in my cheek area and then did my N/L folds from the outside. I looked like a monster in my cheek area for about 1 1/2 days because the bloc had so much liquid in it, it distorted the effect for a bit. By day 2 I loved it!
My cheeks were beautiful, but slowly started do disappear. Not good when spending 1,800!
That was one month ago. Since then, I have befriended a doctor who teaches other doctors on how to use it, and I was offered free Radiesse if I could be her teaching model! Lucky me! I did it today. The doctor that did it injected me without a bloc and my cheeks look great, straight out of the office, unlike last time. The pain isn't that bad. I would much rather have done it this way!
She injected me from the outside. She also touched up one side of my N/L fold that is a bit deeper than the other. I wish it would stay this way, but even she said that injected in the cheeks goes away quicker than in the N/L folds. She's right.
The rep that was there from the company said that putting Radiesse in the lips is NOT a good idea. It could get bumpy. I wish it would forever, but at least I got a break this time!
