Brief Answer:
Yes, it does eventually go away.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Yes, Calcium Hydroxylapatite dermal filler (Radiesse) will definitely eventually go away. While some may be detected in the skin for as long as 3 years, the cosmetic effects usually last around 12 months.

I hope this information helps.

Brief Answer:
Call the practitioner who did the procedure.

Detailed Answer:
If there are specific lumps that shouldn't be there and it isn't from swelling from the recent procedure, I would call the practitioner who did the procedure as soon as possible. Swelling from the procedure will go away in days to weeks. But unwanted nodules in the lips needs to be addressed as Radiesse can form inflammatory nodules. Please go in to be seen (by the plastic surgeon or dermatologist who did the procedure) as soon as possible. Call his/her office and let them know what is happening.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
