As we age, the face gradually loses bone density, fat and collagen. The result can be softer cheekbones, a less defined jawline and deeper folds around the mouth. Radiesse in Fort Worth is one way to restore some of that structure. It provides immediate lift and also supports collagen over time.

At Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center, Dr. Mayli Davis uses Radiesse as part of a customized, natural-looking plan.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel. The gel provides lift right away. Over time, the body absorbs the gel, and the microspheres act as a scaffold that encourages your own collagen.

That combination makes it a popular choice for areas that need firmer support.

Common Areas for Radiesse in Fort Worth

• Cheeks: to restore contour and support the midface
• Jawline and chin: to improve definition
• Smile lines (nasolabial folds): to soften moderate to severe folds
• Hands: to reduce the look of visible veins and tendons with Radiesse for hands

Radiesse is generally not used in the lips or under the eyes. Those areas often call for a softer hyaluronic acid filler.

Radiesse vs. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Products like Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin.

• Feel: Radiesse is firmer and suits deeper structural support. HA fillers are softer and more flexible.
• Reversibility: HA fillers can be dissolved if needed. Radiesse cannot be dissolved in the same way, which makes injector experience especially important.
• Collagen: Radiesse supports collagen production over time.

What to Expect

Your visit begins with a consultation to discuss goals and review your health history. Treatment usually takes under an hour. Radiesse is often mixed with a numbing agent for comfort.

Afterward, mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising can occur. Most people return to normal activities quickly. Results are visible right away and can last a year or more for many patients, though longevity varies with metabolism and lifestyle.

Is Radiesse Right for You?

Radiesse may suit adults with moderate volume loss who want firmer contour. It may not be recommended during pregnancy, with active skin infections, or with certain medical conditions. Dr. Davis will help you weigh it against other options.

Planning Your Treatment Around Events

Because bruising and swelling are possible, it is wise to schedule Radiesse at least two weeks before a wedding, reunion or holiday photos. That window gives any swelling time to settle and leaves room for a follow-up visit if needed. Before your appointment, let us know about medications or supplements that can affect bleeding, and avoid alcohol for a day or so beforehand if possible. A thoughtful timeline helps you feel confident when the big day arrives.
