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. Philip Nakano has a genuine personality! Excellent bedside manners and cares a great deal about his patients. His facial procedures are beautiful! I trust him.
She cares. From our first consultation, I knew she was not a doctor who would be passive with me. I had a lot of questions during the consultation. She was honest and straightforward.I needed the complete truth about my situation and that's what she gave me.The day of my first procedure (I had 3), she spent several minutes with me to make sure I was ok.When things got tough mentally tough for me, she was there. My family was extremely happy, because she showed compassion with me and them.When I received more bad news months later. I knew she would there to get us through it again, together.This is a partnership even today.Thank you Dr. Kumbla.
Dr. Kumbla is the best. She has a direct and honest communication style and is an incredibly talented surgeon. I had an unexpected post-surgery complication that she literally held my hand through - staying in touch with me night and day, 7 days a week. I cannot recommend her enough.
Dr. Kumbla is absolutely fantastic! From my very first appointment, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and confident in my decision. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I knew exactly what to expect throughout the entire process.My breast reduction has genuinely been life-changing. My back pain has improved, I can breathe more comfortably, and I finally feel at home in my body again. I’m also incredibly happy with my results..they look beautiful and natural, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.Dr. Kumbla is not only an extremely talented surgeon, but she is also compassionate, patient, and truly cares about her patients.

Radiesse Recovery
Discomfort with Radiesse treatments is usually minimal. Occasionally, the tiny needle may nick a small blood vessel during the injection and a small bruise may develop. This can last from 5-10 days and can require makeup to cover. There is minimal downtime. The results from this treatment are evident immediately.
