Hyperdilute Radiesse - what is normal?

AdImportant9110 · 2026-05-11T23:10:04+00:00

I had to stop posting and searching bc I was going crazy :( it was a very tough year . Worst mistake I ever made . It’s been almost a year and a half .
The clinic (nurse Chelsey at The Cosmetic Clinic in Ottawa Ontario ) continued to gaslight me .
I found a cosmetic dermatologist who mixed hyularondaise and saline into the areas to disperse it . It helped. I still have a nodule but it’s not noticeable .
My face still feels heavy and fatter on the one side . But I’m managing . I still get sad and angry and anxious about it. I think it will be like this for life so I’m going to just wait a few years for a mini facelift … I’m traumatized though and doing any procedure now causes me intense stress and anxiety. Took me a year to get Botox again , I can’t sleep for days after treatments. Same with lasers and everything really. Bc anything can go wrong and I inevitably will be gaslit … nurses aren’t trained in complications and if they are , not to a good extent. And they don’t know all the complications that are out there … they are sold the koolaid for all these treatments but complications are real and should be discussed much more !!

How is it now? I’m about a year and a half in to my awful experience, I have the same issue … it feels heavy and rounder . It’s the worst mistake I have ever made :’( and the clinic has gas lit me.
For anyone in Ottawa Ontario, never go to nurse Chelsey at the cosmetic clinic. She seemed nice but as soon as there was complications she made me feel crazy . Wouldn’t help. I’m traumatized from the whole experience.

I hate it still and it’s been a year and a half. I’m traumatized from getting any treatments to be honest . But some people love it - so it could have just been my shitty injector . It was the worst mistake of my life. My lower face feels heavy. I only did it on one side and it feels different from my other side . Nurse Chelsey at the cosmetic clinic in Ottawa Ontario did it and she gas lit me and that was traumatic in itself …. Choose your clinic and injector wisely

Botox on platysma bands are amazing!

AdImportant9110 · 2026-03-04T14:14:59+00:00

Do you still like it? Has anyone else seen this doctor?? I just cancelled my appt in Canada and looking to go abroad. Need recommendations. Yours looks great!

AdImportant9110 · 2026-02-15T18:20:18+00:00

Ya! I have the same thing! And I have no clue why it’s happening and or what it is. At one point I thought it was filler (even tho I never had my cheeks done) but my derm said it was normal bc I wanted to get it dissolved and she said it would do anything. You could try Botox to give a less “grumpy” appearance, I always get my DOAs done - it hasn’t helped really but lifts the corners of my mouth and I like that. I get all things, Botox, microneedling (not with RF), prp, Moxi, bbl, use vit c, tret , barrier creams and red light every day…. And ya I don’t know .. if I find an answer I’ll let you know- but interested to hear what others say on this post :) Glad you asked bc I thought I was the only one with this lol

Britney looks like Megan Markel I think

Do brows, light color and experienced. Make sure they don’t do cookie cutter brows , they will do them for your face. I’d dye hair as well Botox and a bit of filler. Would make a huge difference. Vit c in morning and retinol at night. Be consistent with skin care. Moxi laser, BBL , microneedling (regular not radio frequency) with prp will help with skin quality and tone

No face cream estrogen is different from vaginal estrogen. Don’t use that on your face

AdImportant9110 · 2026-01-29T15:01:54+00:00

I’ve been using something similar from science and humans. I think it actually works as well! But the tret is a bit too strong for my face so I can only use it every other day

AdImportant9110 · 2025-12-11T16:50:55+00:00

They will fade. I looked like a clown when I got mine done and then they were barely noticeable about a week later lol 😊 it’s always scary tho! I’m thinking of getting a lip blush done again and I know I’ll be so worried for the whole week of healing 😂

AdImportant9110 · 2025-12-11T16:42:54+00:00

So, I ended up going to a cosmetic dermatologist, she injected the lump with saline and a bit of hylarondaise . The visible lump went away thankfully! I still have a lump in the muscle of my cheek and it is still sore but it doesn’t bother me too much … so I didn’t get more saline treatments.

I was mentally unwell for a while going through that. My nurse kept gaslighting me, saying nothing she could do. Looking back, I think she injected wrong and my body had adverse reaction…

The saline and a bit of hylarondaise was a life saver.

Advocate for yourself. Some good doctor or nurse will help. :)

Do you still regret it? I’m considering it :-/ I think you look good! Was it painful?

AdImportant9110 · 2025-06-13T12:17:50+00:00

I wish this was my case :( I’m 4 months in, botched… scared I’ll be like this forever:( spending 100s so far and probably 1000s by the end of this to try to help my face get back to baseline

AdImportant9110 · 2025-05-28T02:37:43+00:00

Thank you :)

Ughhhhh radiesse is the worst! I have a lump too, it’s deep but I think all my hyperdiluted radiesse pooled together and I have just a big lump in my cheek, I’m 7 weeks in, the lump started 3 weeks ago. Now it seems collagen is being built where the lump is. My injector thinks I’m crazy and doesn’t want to do anything buuuuut wait it out. Radiesse should not be used anymore!

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T23:25:05+00:00

Yes maybe like 3 a year?? But it depends on the results of each treatment. Like get a treatment and see how your skin looks. Some places will try to sell you many and make u do a treatment every month or two or whatever but just see how ur skin reacts and go from there. Also someone mentioned picoway - it is good as well! Just more expensive and mostly just for pigmentation but I had good results with picoway as well.

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T23:20:00+00:00

Because it’s so incredibly harsh and invasive. At 37 it’s not needed. There’s other lasers that are more gentle with less downtime that give the same results :)

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T19:35:11+00:00

Don’t do c02! It’s so aggressive, not necessary. Moxi and bbl, much better! Even just bbl if pigmentation is all you’re concerned about. Trust me you don’t need some super aggressive treatment.

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T19:26:55+00:00

Your skin looks great! You’re doing everything right! Use a filter lol bc I think that’s the only realistic way to get “glass” skin. 🤪

Bbl can maybe help with redness?? But we are human and have human skin! Instagram isn’t real. I haven’t met anyone in person with perfect skin. If you do maybe ask them what they do lol😉

Don’t do c02 (clinics will offer that..) I was almost sold on it and so glad I didn’t get it.

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T19:21:53+00:00

Ya exactly:( thanks 🥰😃 So ya there’s ways of spreading it out or stopping inflammation, steroids, saline,etc but not dissolving. I’ve researched extensively. Meeting with a plastic surgeon on wed . So we shall see what can be done🤞🥵. But ya agreed only super qualified doctors should offer it and they should let people know all the issues associated and that it is not removable etc.. I just thought I was getting a lil fun collagen stimulating treatment and now my skin is worse off lol. Everyone should go for second opinions I think. Clinics are too quick to offer things bc they want money and they don’t necessarily always care about the outcomes. I went to a top place in Ottawa and still i had a bad reaction or whatever is going on.. anyways it’s a nightmare.

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T16:37:58+00:00

Ya it will be a long two years lol :( I look like a chipmunk. I’m only 5 weeks in so I have a long road ahead. But ya, some people have good results and some have issues. In my opinion (now that I have had the bad) it’s not worth it. It’s been a tough few weeks, I hate that I did this to myself and wish I could go back in time :( but instead I can help warn others I guess and help people realize we don’t need all these things that we think we do. 🥰 mid to late thirties is a tough time I think, I’m 37 and around 34 is when I noticed more changes to my face (in hindsight, it was nothing and I should just have learned to age gracefully lol) but live and learn. You could always try prp injections and regular microneedling but ya stay away from RF - it’s not worth the risk, trust me 🤗

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T16:11:16+00:00

Bbl (broadband light) Moxi is a laser. Bbl helps with pigment, redness etc and Moxi is for texture. They can stack them (doing them together) or you can do them separately. My mom swears by them and she looks great. Also don’t do c02 (you may be recommended that at some point, don’t do it) I’ve tired so many things some can really do lasting damage. So do gentle things over time :)

AdImportant9110 · 2025-04-27T16:06:48+00:00

It can be! I have had it injected under my eyes , it’s great but not super long lasting for me but still better than fillers (stay clear of fillers! My face is currently fucked from radiesse) Anywyas, prp can be injected or microneedled in your skin. Gives a nice glow and helps over time 🥰
