Ask a doctor  Can Radiesse Cause a Vein Occlusion?  I had .25 cc
of radiesse injected into each cheek 5 days ago. The right cheek
is perfect, but the left side is not OK. I went to urgent care
at the request of my injector. I was told it was facial
cellulitus and prescribed antibiotics. I am not sure the
diagnosis is correct though. Looking at pictures online, I think
it looks more like I have an occluded blood vessel. The area is
still numb, including my lip and gums there is a hard purple
bruise in the center of a red mark that covers my cheek.  Doctor
