Has any one had Radiesse, to the cheeks or face? How bad was the bruzing and down time??

Thanks

It is across the board the same for most injectables..........you may bruise or not and that may depend on your skin type, if you have taken any sort of
anti-inflammatories such as aspirin or Motrin in the last 7 days. Also, it is the skill of your DR. as well.

The best scenario is that you will be able to go out in public and no one will know the difference and then sometimes you will bruise or swell slightly. Your DR. should have some cold paks to put on the unjection site if so.

If you have your lips done, that is where most of the problems may occurr as the tissue is so sensitive and thin. Otherwise, it really is a walk in the park.

Make sure you ask about lidocaine injections or other numbing creams before the actual procedure to eliminate some of the discomfort. Some Dr.s are inconsiderate of how uncomfortable this can be...........Good luck !

Thanks Robert,

I dont think I would ever get my lips done, it almost always looks poor to me! But thanks for the reassurance on the use of radeise as a cheek filler.

NV............if you notice "unusual looking lips" then it was not done correctly or the DR. went overboard with the product used. It can be done and look very natural .............bringing back the natural fullness of the parameter of the lip line.

Yes and thanks !.....I feel lucky everyday to wake up here in S.F. !!
