Radiesse - injected under both eyes for lightening dark circles - Largo, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I had radiesse injected under both eyes for...

$500

I had radiesse injected under both eyes for lightening dark circles. The nurse practictioner that administard the filler went up to high above the orbital bone causing the red and white swelling, she corrected her- self on the right eye by not going up as high I had no problem except for a little red swelling but that went away after a few days.

It has been a year and I still have the same white line of swelling that has not budged.

The spa owner was nice enough to give my money back but I feel I might need surgery to fix the problem. I have since moved state which makes it hard to find an attorney, but I will keep trying.

i had the same exact thing happen on oct 8th 2008, they gave some steriod injection,it helped a little but there is a white line there..have your doctors tried steriod injections and rubbing?
Goabglow, now that it has been several months, do you still have a white line? I had Radiesse 2 months ago and I am a mess. White glowing line under one eye and a white ball under the other
She should not have used radiesse there as the skin is so thin. A lawyer huh? Wow..you should have been advised that complications can happen when any thing is done to the body anyways... your doctor can take an 18 guage needle and break the skin over the white strip, then push out the white filler. He/she should only have to make a few holes and then push the stuff out, he does not need to break the skin over the whole thing. OR he can inject saline into the strip to break it up, the squeez in to break up the product it will dissolve. Good luck.
Is there something that can reverse the effects of Botox? I had a tiny bit in my upper lip and i hate it. My mouth twists when I talk. I juat want it gone from there.
There is a medication called phyostigmine that can be used as an minimze the results.It's side effects make it rarely practical. There is a substance called Botox X that is expermintal but I doubt Allergan would authorize it for something like this. These unwantd effects usually only last 2 weeks, but time will be the thing that corrects this. Good Luck.
I am not surprised you had problems. You really shouldnt go to a spa to have it done nor should a nurse practitioner ever do it. Do your research do find a reputable, board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist.
