LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

You mentioned that it makes it difficult to convert to fat after Radiesse. That is was a nightmare. Could you please give some more details on why that is. Also if adding Radiesse for more volume AFTER a fat graft could do harm to the graft.

Thanks.

not really a nightmare. it's just that i never know when the radiesse is gone. it could be 9 months, 1.5 years, 2 years, 2.5 years so when you put a permanent filler like fat on top of it you may be losing some of your result that you would attribute to fat but in fact it is not the fat but the radiesse. yes, you can augment radiesse on top of fat but i would probably wait at least 6 months after fat unless you are doing areas where fat does not work anyway like the smile lines and lips (remember radiesse is terrible for lips. i would actually use the word nightmare in that case.)

So for the oral commissure area....is that an OK area for Radiesse? Also have you ever built up the chin area with success....w/ Radiesse?

yeah, radiesse is good for the oral commissure. there is a trick to make sure that it is safe there. watch my video lecture. (hey, i can't give all my secrets out here.) i have built many chins with radiesse. i usually as you know prefer perlane so that i can convert to fat transfer ideally.

I thought I would attach a photo of an oral commissure that I did with Radiesse. In fact, it is the one used on the Radiesse site. In other words, they use my photo nationally.
