Ask about product and approval
Marie Jé’s Radiesse and lip-contouring services invite different placement questions. Ask for the exact filler brand, its current patient labeling, the intended area, and whether that placement is FDA-approved. Have the injector explain why it fits your anatomy. An approved filler is not approved for every facial area or every purpose.
Discuss uncommon but serious harms
The FDA lists bruising, swelling, and nodules among possible effects, and accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue injury, blindness, or stroke. Ask the injector how vascular problems are recognized, what equipment and referral pathway are available, and whom to contact immediately. Before agreeing to the aesthetic plan, make sure you understand whom to contact and how the office would respond to an urgent complication.
Consider the exit path
Ask whether the proposed filler can be reduced or removed if a problem occurs; some materials are difficult or impossible to remove. Request the planned amount, follow-up timing, and price before treatment. Keep documentation of the injected product and site. If the injector dismisses a material risk without explanation, seek another professional opinion. Ask how the office documents the product and injection sites so a later clinician can evaluate any delayed problem.
Questions and answers
Can any filler simply be dissolved?
No. The FDA notes that removal may require additional procedures and that some materials are difficult or impossible to remove.
