I Hate my Radiesse in my Chin - Little York, IN

Hi wadu, thanks again for helping me and being positive. I did go to another highly respected injector before choosing the one I decided to go with. This highly respected injector said she wouldn't touch my chin, that I didn't need it and that I was beautiful the way i was. God I wish I had listened to her! So after I had it done by the other injector I went back to this previous one who wouldn't do it for advice. She said she does radiesse in her cheeks and it goes away after 9 months. She said my chin felt normal and that it will go away but to be patient and stop touching it (which I can't stop myself from doing) I don't know why I can't believe anybody when they tell me this will go away. At the moment I'm so dissapointed I can't believe it. I just feel like this will last longer in me because I think my body takes longer than others to heal and I don't have a fast metabolism or do exercise. It takes me 3 weeks to get rid of a spot for goodness sake :( I did this in a low moment and it really wasn't like me to do this and I am absolutely kicking myself. I will never be self conscious again if this goes away. did you massage and keep touching your perlane?

No..do not massage Radiesse...you will only irritate and inflame the surrounding tissue. Radiesse is not a soft substance. It is hard and attaches itself to bone and tissue. I also heal extremely slowly.

If it attaches itself to bone and tissue how does it ever go away? :( aww I'm so scared. Can I put on my moisturiser and everything as normal?

Will I have made it worse or bad or something cause I rubbed it so much?

Who would notice it?? Like about NO ONE!! You look just fine, totally normal. You'd need a magnifying glass to see that you have a problem!! You're beautiful!! And totally normal looking!! Just forget about it and get on with your life! Ask Jesus for help and it'll happen.

Thanks for your help, it's good to know other people want to help and take their time out to talk to me and reassure me. However when I first became self conscious with having a small chin I started to look at it a lot and obsess over it. Because I looked at it so closely I can see it is a huge change for me. I know it is there, even photos from recent nights out don't look like my chin in old photos. It makes my heart sink it is so noticeable :( it's making me feel sick and I don't even want to look at photos any more. :( sorry.

Hi Maggie. I have followed your story and what you have commented about radiesse. I think once you start to see it break up it will eventually go in the next few months so hopefully you won't have to wait much longer!! When did you start to see some improvement? Does this mean you are starting to see the volume go down? Did it stay the same for all this time or did you see any improvement in the first 3 months? 6 months? After a year etc. How much did you have injected? This stuff should definitely be banned. I think back to me getting it and wonder what the hell I was thinking!! My chin was so lovely and petit. So stupid!! I would love it if you could keep me updated on your progress as I really hope this is the start of it breaking down for you!

I'm only now seeing that it is starting to go down and it's about a bit over a year and a half. It had no improvement until now. Juvederm and Restylane seem to have a gradual reduction, but that's not the case with Radiesse. I believe I only had half a syringe. So a small amount. I think it will continue to gradually dissolve over the next 6 mos. This is crazy bc I can't get it out of my face fast enough, but Juvaderm in my lips lasts like 3 mos. your pics don't look bad, but I can see what you mean. You should show the doc the before and after pics and demand a refund. Oh and I also try to get better at makeup contouring to make my face less wide. I think it helps a little so you may want to try it...

Oh gosh :( really. That's made me feel very sad that this stuff lasts so long and doesn't even go down gradually. And that's a very small amount you got! I only had half a syringe too and you wonder how it can make such a huge difference but it does!! This was my first time ever using filler and I should have been told this couldn't be dissolved and to try one that could be if I didn't like I but I didn't do my research :/ can you still feel your filler if you touch your cheeks? At the min I can still really feel mind in my chin and wondered if it softens or if you can always feel it? I think it's really gross that you can feel that there is something in your face that isn't meant to be there. Do you exercise a lot? I've heard that can make it go away faster?

I have same problem of you...it was really big mistake... I had raidiesse in my nose 3 months left and iam still feeling the same it doesn't go down and the swelling in morning really make me crazy and after getting shower the same... I received 0,2 ml ... One area of my nose but it changes all my features..

:( when did you get put in? 3 months ago?

Hi lulu I just also read a comment you posted that you had radiesse in your chin. When did yours start to go away? Has it gone away now? How long did it take?

The volume of the raidiesse in my chin start to wear off after 10 months ... Iam now 14 months still the raidiesse there but less then before.

Oh that's good to know!! I hope mine doesn't last very long but it is good to hear it goes away. How much did you have in your chin?

Yes RealselfChris...but not with radiesse, with perlane. It took 4 months and 2 Medrol dose paks to reduce the swelling. My sister, who is a plastic surgery recovery nurse, had a similar experience with Radiesse in her cheek. It took a few months for the swelling to go down. Swelling, is very much like pain, in that if you don't get it under control, it kind of takes on a life of its own..swelling produces more swelling. If there is tenderness, there is swelling, if there is swelling there is inflammation.
