Question 1

hi, i had radiesse (dermal fillers) injected mixed with lidocaine around april 14th-15 , andin junewe get drug tested at work , will these injection effect the test?

Accepted Answer

No: Neither the filler nor the lidocaine will affect your drug test results.

Question 2

has anyone ever had radiesse (dermal fillers) injected into their skin to help hide a scar?

Accepted Answer

Radiesse (dermal fillers) for scars: Radiesse (dermal fillers) has been used successfully to smooth out depressed scars and make them less evident. It will not make the scar "disappear". 
If you have a prominent or red scar, a dermal filler like Radiesse (dermal fillers) would not be the modality to use to improve the look of it. Ipl/bbl, laser resurfacing and/or surgical scar revision are better.

Question 3

does radiesse have fewer side effects than other injectables? a friend who's had different fillers over the last several years said she had less swelling and bruising with radiesse than any others. is that normally the case? or was she just lucky?

Accepted Answer

As : As far as bruising and swelling, it really depends on the patient and the injector, not the filler. I believe there is less chance of bruising with the more superficial injectables(juvederm and restylane). Everyone reacts differently to injections, whether it is pain, swelling or bruising. A well experienced & gentle injector will create less pain and swelling. As far as bleeding and bruising, it is, basically, luck. Every time i remove a needle from a patient and it doesn't bleed, I am pleasantly surprised. Sometimes it is a drop, sometimes, a good bit more.
As far as side effects, Radiesse (dermal fillers) is the safest, in my opinion. The big issue is with the injector. If your doctor is very experienced with the product, it is the best-again in my opinion. It is my favorite for naso-labial folds and marionette line treatments. I won't use it any where else and it should not be used in the lips.

Question 4

i had radieese injected into my nose a few months ago and now i want to get rid of it so i push on it really hard everyday. will this help?

Accepted Answer

No: Radiesse (dermal fillers) is an unforgiving material which really is difficult to remove. It is a bone derivative, and if it is map-placed it must actually be surgically excise if too disruptive.  The effect may  fade over a long time, however.

Question 5

i had radieese injected in my nose 6 months ago. doc didn't use all, so he saved it for my next procedure. i need it done again. does it stay good?

Accepted Answer

Probably not : Unfortunately, six months later the product is unlikely to be "still good". I would recommend using a new syringe.

Question 6

is radiesse a good choice for under my eyes? i'm thinking about getting filler under my eyes. i'm considering radiesse because it can last a long time. i've read that it can last longest in areas that you don't move a lot. so it would be great for under m

Accepted Answer

When : When treating the lower eyelids the hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g. Restylane) are preferred. This is due to the thinner nature of the product which works better with the thin skin in the area.

Question 7

does radiesse (dermal fillers) ever migrate? i mean, if i get it in my nasolabial folds, could it move down into my lip?

Accepted Answer

Migration : Migration is a risk of radiesse, (dermal fillers) but it is very rare.  Be sure you go to a reputable, certified clinic to have this performed.  It has become a very common procedure but must be performed by a certified, trained professional.  Discuss the risks and benefits with the provider that you see.

Question 8

will sleeping on my side make radiesse (dermal fillers) in my cheeks move or flatten? i usually start out sleeping on my back, but always wake up on my side. could all that moving around affect the results from my radiesse (dermal fillers) injections?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping : Sleeping on your side shouldn't cause the Radiesse (dermal fillers) to move or affect our overall results.

Question 9

does radiesse have lidocaine in it?

Accepted Answer

: According to their website, it comes with and without lidocaine.

Question 10

how safe is radiesse--any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Radiesse (dermal fillers) is safe: Radiesse is a dermal filler for wrinkles and contour filling. It has a very good safety record but should not be used in the lips. A possible disadvantage is that it cannot be removed with an enzyme injection like juvederm and Restylane (dermal fillers) but this is not often needed. It lasts a bit longer than the other fillers.
