Radiesse in Nasolabial Fold

Please consider using another filler in this area - and if you decide to go with Radiesse, ask your injector to use a cannula. I received Radiesse in my nasolabial fold, and the filler occluded an artery. I suffered necrosis from above my nose to below the corner of my lip. I know that this side effect is not reported, but it happens more often than you would think. The treatment so far has been PRP, microneedling, and radio frequency laser. I think it's helping - but I don't know if my face will ever be the same.

OMG I'm so sorry!! I at one point thought of using Radiesse for my NL folds, reading your review makes me counting my blessings for going against it. Thanks so much for your review and I really hope you will keep getting better :)

Thank you for sharing, I hope that you have some recourse. I'm not a dr, but maybe some laser treatments might help smooth out that area. Something like fractora, maybe they would set you up with some complimentary treatments. Good luck!

Thank you for the message! I'm getting PRP treatments and RF laser now.. and it seems to be helping. All the best to you!

Oh I am so sorry to see this has happened to you!
I am not medically trained, but I could actually recognise from your picture that this is "necrosis" - I don't want to sound morbid - but my doctor made me do my research on the treatment before she would offer it to me. I first asked for Radiesse in my nose to mouth lines, but she was reluctant. I thought initially it was a confidence thing, but she has been doing this for years so I asked her if she had other concerns about it.
She told me that it was an amazing product, meant only for use in deep tissue, and that people were not using it correctly half the time.
She also insists on using a "microcannula" there because of the danger of pushing filler into the nose blood vessels.
It is really brave of you to share this. Many people don't understand these are serious treatments. Here in England you get doctors and nurses offering these treatments in beauty salons - I don't think they would explain all the risks in detail.
Well, my prayers are with you, and I will put up my Radiesse pictures soon!
Don't give up, your skin will heal soon.

Can I ask where you had this done? I ask because I am also in the Tampa area and I had an issue with a clinic/injector and Radiesse. Not to this extent. But. I was not happy.

A place with practices in Brandon & Wesley Chapel, so no, not the same one. But! I can't believe how many issues with Radiesse I have seen since I had one myself and started looking on the internet. This is SERIOUS, terrible stuff! I am good, thank you. I was VERY unhappy for a few months and I will not mess with Radiesse again. Best to you.

It is serious, and it's amazing how many cases go unreported. I think if more people knew about the potential side effects, they'd go with a different filler or different treatment. All the best to you, too!

I was about to put a crap ton of this garbage into my jaw even though my doctor admitted he disliked radiesse. Im glad the warning sign came back to smack me up and down tbe face before I did it anyway. Knowing my luck it wouldn't be ideal.

Can I ask if this is Florida Aesthetics? I have an appt. with them in Brandon in a few weeks for filler.

Oh no I just had the radiesse for my nose 3 days ago:-( please let me know more information to watch out for the necrosis. Thank you so much.

Hi! If you had it done 3 days ago, you will be fine! It's very painful, and you'll know something is wrong almost immediately. Thanks
