A good filler option: Radiesse (calcium hydroxyappetite) is a good volumizing deep filler. It can last up to 1 year. It is a thicker filler than hyaluronic acid fillers (restylane (dermal fillers) and juvederm). Because of this feature, it can lead to small temporary lumps especially if injected too superficially, into thinner tissue or specifically into the immediate eyelid area or lips. Consult with an expert injector.

Radiesse (dermal fillers) is great : Radiesse (dermal fillers) is a great contouring filler of the cheeks and mid-face. If placed either superficially or around the mouth it will be visible and lumpy. However, with artistic contouring, Radiesse (dermal fillers) yields a natural and refreshed result. Although, it lasts for 9-12 months but it does enhance collagen formation around the calcium particles and maintains skin tone. There are very few cons and many pros.
