Overview
The cosmetic surgeons of Prima Center for Plastic Surgery in Duluth, GA use injectable fillers, such as Radiesse, for patients who desire a nonsurgical way to decrease the visible appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. Radiesse is a dermal filler that is used for folds and wrinkles. It contains microspheres of a natural material called calcium hydroxyapatite (“hi-droxy-apa-tite”) in a water-based gel. This filler is used to fill moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and marionette lines (the creases that extend from the corner of the mouth down toward the chin).
Best Candidates
Good candidates are men or women who demonstrate:
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Marionette lines
- Good skin tone
- Overall good health
What to Expect
During the consultation, the cosmetic surgeons of Prima Center for Plastic Surgery will evaluate the overall health of the skin and assess the amount of wrinkles in the middle and lower third of the face. This evaluation will help our cosmetic surgeons develop an individual plan for the appropriate amount of Radiesse to use during treatment. Our goal is to soften the folds, not obliterate them. Many other offices, med-spas or clinics may have a non-physician provider administer these types of injections. At Prima Center for Plastic Surgery, our cosmetic surgeons perform all injectable treatments themselves. This is to ensure safety and the best possible outcome for each patient. Radiesse typically lasts about 9-12 months. Many patients love their results so much that they return and are put on a rotation schedule.

Dr. Song is truly all of the wonderful things the reviews portray him to be ... and so much more. He is thorough, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. He genuinely listens to your concerns, takes the time to answer your questions, and gives you realistic expectations so you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.What stood out to me most is how seen, heard, and valued he makes you feel as a patient. He is available when you need him, and there is a level of care and reassurance that is hard to put into words.His staff has been just as wonderful. I cannot remember the name of his blonde-haired nurse, and I hate that I forgot it, because she deserves to be recognized! She has been so sweet, caring, and absolutely precious throughout this entire experience. Her kindness has meant so much to me.I had six consultations before coming to Prima, and the moment I met Dr. Song and his team, I knew immediately that this was where I wanted to be. There was simply a different feeling ...one of trust, comfort, and confidence.I would highly recommend Dr. Song and his staff without hesitation. If you are considering him, do not hesitate. He is truly amazing, and I am so grateful I chose dr song& Prima. ♥️
