Radiesse 1 Syringe (Nasolabial Folds -- 0.5 Each) - Worcester, MA
ORIGINAL POST
I have decided to make a separate reviews for two...
WORTH IT$650
I have decided to make a separate reviews for two procedures that I got on the same day. I got Juvederm UltraPlus in my lips, and Radiesse in my nasolabial folds.
The procedure itself wasn't as bad, and I saw results instantly.
I didn't have any bruising or swelling for the first 3 days. None.
Yesterday when I was taking my make up off, I could feel a little bump on my right side in the upper portion of the filler (closer to my nose). When I touch it, I feel pressure all the way in my lips and around.
I hope this is normal reaction. Dr Bentkover said that I might feel those lumps, but as long as I don't see them, I'm fine. I don't see them for now. I hope all stays this way, and that sensation goes away.

Almost a week. Feeling better!
As I wrote before, I didn't have any bruising or swelling after Radiesse. 3 days after the procedure, I started feeling pain on the right side of my face. It was painful all over my eyes, ears, cheek, and I had a headache. It concerned me quite a bit... Apparently, it happens with fillers, and especially with first timers. Live and learn!
I had that pain on day 3, 4, 5. I had it constantly, and especially when I smiled or touched it. I took Tylenol (2000 mg per day), and that helped a little. Today I feel better -- no significant headache, earache or pain in my cheek. I still feel the filler, but I try not to touch it unless I really need to. I think it heals... I hope everything stays this way.
Overall, Radiesse did the job for my nasolabial folds. But next time, no Radiesse for me. I wish I knew that this one can't be dissolved or manipulated like other fillers. Just in case something goes wrong...

I got it when I had my Breast revision so I was asleep and now have bumps by the outside corners of my mouth. It looks weird and the bumps are red. It has been 6 weeks. My PS told me to massage them 2 weeks ago and I have been doing that every day for 2 weeks with no change. There is no reversal so I guess I have to live with it till it dissolves. Do you know how long before it dissolves?

Soooo sorry to hear that! :( I'm seriously done with this filler. Did you feel those bumps immediately after or not? Are they visible? :( Do they hurt? I heard it can take up to a year for Radiesse to be dissolved. How much did you got?

I got Radiesse done November,2014, I was told it would last for 18 months to 2 years. In December,2014 the left side of my face was sunk in as if nothing was done, also the right side of the face where the Radiesse was done the line got deeper, so now I look like a freak. When I told the doctor about it he said I need more on the left side...as if I have money to shell out every three weeks for these procedures. I was not happy and feel they should be accountable to tell you the truth and back up their claim as to you how long something is going to last rather than scam you back to their office for more money and to repeat the procedure with in 3 weeks. Who has $1600.00 to give away when the procedure is suppose to be $800.00?

So sorry to hear that! Oh, no... Well... To be honest, I'm not happy that I got this filler. I wasn't informed, and my PS didn't inform me about possible complications due the fact that this filler can't be dissolved. Your story is different... So, what is your plan? Did you get filler 3 weeks afterwards in December?
