Not Sure Yet..very Nervous About Swelling

It has been about two weeks and my swelling is almost completely gone. The right side has smoothed and softened, but the left is a liitle hard  and swollen still. Overall, the results are good. It may be a liitle too full though because it bulges a little and causes my upper area to look different. I kind of look like those cats from the broadway show...very full. I may not have needed a full syringe??Also, just make sure that you realize that this is not just a "filler." The Radiesse box is labeled as an "injectable implant." This is serious stuff. It is suppose to go away after one year, but I wonder how the body will react to this foreign substance over time. Ii is pure white and is radiopaque, meaning will show up on x-rays. This is serious stuff. I'm still not sure if I would do it again.

I wanted Juvaderm for smile line, but the nurse mentioned Radiesse. After reading many post about juvaderm not working as well as Radiesse, I had no problem saying yes. (the difference in price was $200.00) I have been getting botox for years and feel okay about the needle thing until this procedure. OMG I was not prepared for the pain. He numbed my mouth like a dentist does...the entire mouth! However, my dentist uses topical first and is slow when injecting the lidocaine. This plastic surgeon just jammed these shots inside my mouth without warning. Then I sat lightheaded to get numb until he came back. The injection of the Radiesse still burned/ stung despide all of the numbing. It seemed like he put in a hundred shots to dispense the entire syringe. When I left the office my face was red and VERY swollen. I am on day two and my entire mouth area including lip (which he did not do) are swollen HUGE like a chipmunk!Is this normal? I have been using ice pack and I followed pre-op (no aspirin, IB or alcohol). It is a good thing that I am a teacher and have the summer off because there is no way that I could go out in public. The people that I have seen have been told 1)dental work 2) allergic reaction to bee sting. My hope is that when the swelling goes down that it will look great. I can feel huge hard lumps of where the filler was injected. This was done by an experience local plastic/ reconstructive surgeon..NOT a spa or clinic so, I trust that he knew what he was doing with me. My fingers are crossed and my ice is about to go back on my mouth.
