I'm 47 years old. I went for a consultation looking to find serums or products for my face. The lady I saw said not to waste time with products but said I look tired around my eyes and suggested getting Radiesse filler, Botox, and maybe Fraxel treatments. Well, I can't afford it all but am considering the filler since my under eyes are a bit dark and sunken. Should I look at other fillers or would Radiesse be a good one to start with? Thanks for your advice!
While Radiesse is an effective treatment to restore volume loss in the cheeks and naso labial folds, I do not recommend Radiesse to correct volume loss in the tear trough area.
I would recommend using a hyaluronic acid based product such as Juvederm or Restylane to treat sunken eyes. Tissue around the eyes is very thin and there is a greater risk of developing a lumpy result when Radiesse is used. Hyaluronic acid based products are more maleable and, therefore, more forgiving. In addition, clients that are not satisfied with the outcome of their treatment have the option to use a product (hyaluronidase) to disolve the filler. This is not an option when Radiesse is used.
A lot of people talk about how good and are for lip augmentation, but I want something more permanent. Is it safe/effective to get lip injections of Radiesse?
Radiesse does not have FDA-approval for use in the lips. It can be used in an off-label manner but no one really recommends it. Radiesse is fairly thick and in mobile areas like the lips can cause palpable and visible lumps that are difficult to treat. I would stay away from Radiesse in the lips if I were you.
There are better options for lip augmentation such as Restylane, Juvederm, Fat injections, and Permafacial Surgisil lip implants. Consultation with a specialist in facial cosmetic surgery can help you determine which treatment fits your needs best.
Good luck,

I been to my doctor who gave me some antibiotics just to make sure I have no infection. However, three days later now, the pain, warm sensation is still present. It's 5 days now after my Radiesse cheekbone augmentation. My doctor injected high on the cheekbone. My right coronary artery is swollen (no discoloration), gives pain and beats heavier than my left coronary artery. I'm really scared now that some of the Radiesse is injected in my aorta.
Hello,
If you've had Radiesse injected into your cheeks, the chances of any getting to your aorta are slim to none. Without knowing more about your hematological history, the cause of your swollen "coronary arteries" won't be determined on this forum. Of note carotid arteries lie in the neck and coronary arteries lie on the heart. I'm assuming you meant carotid. If you have a swollen, red, tender cheek, you may have either a low grade infection or a small amount of post-injection bleeding and inflammation. They can sometimes present the same way. Your doctor was smart and cautious to give you antibiotics. Lymph nodes over the area of the jugular vein and carotid artery can swell if there is some type of infection or inflammation on the face. Ask your doctor about the use of warm compresses as they may help your symptoms.
Good luck,
Dr. Shah
