Hello Dr. Irwin, I had Radiesse injected into my lower cheeks in June. In November, I developed nodules in both cheeks. On one side, it is more of a golf ball sized mass and on the other, several large, hard bumps. I went back to the nurse and she injected a small amount of diluted steroid and it showed no improvement. I am beside myself. I saw a plastic surgeon who said he has not seen this late-onset immune response before but has scheduled me to come in for an aggressive treatment of steroid injections and has prescribed antibiotics. Does this sound like it will help or what else can you recommend be done? I am 61 years old.
Will steroid treatment help treat nodules that developed after Radiesse injections?
