I was recently asked on RealSelf.com a question about the injection of Radiesse filler for “marionette lines”. The patient had received filler in the past that made her jaw and chin look masculine. She wanted to avoid this look when injected with the longer lasting Radiesse product.
Here is my answer………
“Your question emphasizes the importance of choosing an injector physician who has the proper eye for facial proportions and beauty.
Injecting the marionette lines is not a commodity that you arrive at the physician’s office (or as seems to be the trend nowadays the spa, nurse’s house, or podiatrist’s office) and order up like a Strawberry and Cream Latte with White Chocolate powder at Coffee Bean.
There is an art and science to injecting, and every patient is a little different.
The judgment and experience of the injector is important. As the saying goes, ‘Good judgment is based upon bad experiences; good experience is based upon bad judgments’.
Sounds like you have already had a bad experience in the past; hopefully it has helped your injector’s judgment.”
Good luck and is well……
