How many people end up with a lot of swelling or unevenness after radiesse (dermal fillers)? i'm really interested in getting this, but i'm worried about possible severe side effects. how likely is a bad reaction?

Radiesse (dermal fillers) : Radiesse (dermal fillers) is a common injectable filler that few complications when injected by an experienced and skilled practitioner. Don't go to the mall, beauty salon or dentist to get fillers. Find an expert (www.Asoprs.Org) - oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, dermatologist or general plastic surgeon who has been injecting for a few years and you will do well.

I : I personally don't appreciate the "dentist" comment. I have been doing Botox a dermal fillers for years. No medical profession is trained more than a dentist in facial anatomy. At the dental school i attended, temple, we had a full semester class on head & neck anatomy. On a side note, i had a friend, as she says "butchered" by a dermatologist. She was badly bruised and swollen after the injections. I have had nothing but positive results with no bruising. Everyone gets a little redness and swelling post-op. I send my patients home with small ice packs. The most important things to look for in finding a provider to administer dermal fillers is training & experience. Ask the doctor you are considering doing the procedure for other patient recommendations who he/she has treated. Most of us like taking before and after photographs, too. The medical professional i would seek out is a facial plastic surgeon, facial dermatologist, or a dentist. Do not allow anyone other than one of these types of doctors do dermal fillers.
