DA50, yes the injection stuff is still there. If I feel under my eyes with my fingers, it is definitely still firm and I can still even feel the delineation around the stuff. I don't think this stuff ever goes away. Like I say, in 18 months to a year, unless you had known me before, you probably wouldn't think twice when looking at me that I had had anything put there. But even still to today, in pictures I see the difference. My family does too if I ask them.

here's my suggestion, based on my own personal experience. get a sonic care toothbruth. hold the back of the toothbrush up, against the area that has radiesse in it. it will slowly break up the area, allowing the body to absorb the radiesse. I know because I've had radiesse in the sides of my face (nasolabial lines) for 5 years. I was overfilled & only the top 1" part dissolved. the rest (going down to almost my jawline has remained - about 50-60% since. I started using my sonicare toothbrush because no one had any answers (including all the doctors on here). they're no help. no one wants to surgically remove the radiesse, as it'll probably cause more problems. any filler will always dissolve faster in more mobile areas of the face. I've been doing the sonicare toothbrush remedy for about 3 weeks now & can start to see a difference. I was only doing it 2x a week. but now that I'm seeing improvement, I've moved it up to every day. (I just do it while watching tv & have a small mirror to make sure I'm holding it right on top of the area). I hope that helps! I can truly empathize with you. I personally think radiesse should be banned, as there's no way to remove it & it mimics bone more than fat tissue.

Dear nikibeach....THANK YOU SO MUCH for that information!!! I will definitely try that!!

Nikibeach, Thank you. Is it still working. I had Radiesse under my eyes in December and have a bag under my left eye now. It's added ten years! I'm worried after reading so many Radiesse nightmare stories!

Hi Tiffany - the radiesse is SLOWLY going away - not fast. But, I figure....even if it takes 6 months of this - still better than waiting years - which is what I've been doing.

Thanks for the encouragement Niki. I guess I will massage and hope it speeds up the process. Best to you too.

I just went back and read all the comments, including my own past ones. Looks like I made my first entry in 7/09. That means I had the injection in May of 2009 so really its been almost 4 years. My doctor is a fantastic plastic surgeon, actually had done some other work for me which turned out fantastic, and I really trusted him to do whatever he suggested. The immediate result was very reddened clearly delineated implants under my eye. It looked like I had semi-moon shaped red hard plastic things under the eyelids. My doctor did several different types of treatments, including prednisone to help. Laser treatments, ultrasound, peels, etc. (no charge to me thank goodness - he felt really bad about it) Nothing seemed to help much. The reddening lessened to normal skin color in about 6 months. It never looked like loose bags under my eyes, it was too tight and hard for that. Very obvious the first 3 months, some fading within 6 months. In a year, still noticeable but I tried not to let it bother me since there was nothing I could do about it. At least 18 months before I felt it wasn't sticking out like a sore thumb, but I was still very aware of it. By 2 years, unless you had known me before, you would probably just think I had unusual shaped under-eyes. No discoloration after 1 year I forgot to say. It really hasn't changed much in the last 2 years. Still there, but not too terribly bothersome. If there was some way to get rid of it I sure would. But I would scream it far and wide: NEVER get Radiesse under the eyes!!!!

You will get by, and survive. it's a lesson. Doctors are not God. They think they are, but they are GREEEEEEEDY! You probably didn't even need it. Doctors DESTROY!

The Doctors that are failures.... let them get a new one... A newbee. I'm out of it. Old doctors trying to reinvent surgery? What idiots!

Patients are honest, developing a relationship with their doctor. Doctors....., because they're in charge.....doing it their way,,,,,,,, Hiding ..... Doing things their way..... What BS!... What's wrong with them??????? Trying to impress who????? Not my style. They DON'T Know what they are doing!
radiesse wreck 30 Apr 2013
These doctors today don't even know what the ------ they are doing!
Annaproblemma 9 Apr 2013
Well, it's been 3+ years for me and its still here. It's not really noticeable (that much) any more unless you really know to look for it, but definitely its there. I would strongly recommend no one to ever do it under their eyes
DA50 9 Apr 2013
Annaproblemma....do you think it's still in your system or are you saying the damage from what it did is still there. I have so much inflammation and swollen tissues....but of course, it's only been 6 days. I just wish I knew how long the swelling and fluid sacks will last. This is such a nightmare....I have fallen into such a state of depression....I'm just so mad that this is allowed to happen!
asha060469 9 Apr 2013
well i got my procedure done 08/2007. I will say about 2009 it was better but like i said it certain shades you can see the darkness,
asha060469 9 Apr 2013
I am much better but in certain lighting you can see a little darkness. My confidence is back. But I steer away from putting Concealer under my eyes because its will bring attention. So I say I am 90% I do not ever think it will be 100%
DA50 9 Apr 2013
I'm so happy to hear that you have your confidence back asha060469. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to see improvement....1 yr, 2 yrs? I ask because I'm just getting started....my nightmare happened 6 days ago and I'm so scared to think about what I might be in for. Thank you for sharing....it really helps.

My skin does sag a little there under the left eye. Check to see what Teabag says. I think she has gone through it too
asha060469 9 Apr 2013
It's a total mess that Buck radiesse injections. I got my injection 8/2007 and it has since gone but in certain lighting you can see the dark uneven bag under left eye. I do not put concealer because it makes worst. I do notice when people talked to me they look more at that eye.
DA50 9 Apr 2013
I'm on day 6 now and it looks like I have yellowish/brownish fluid sacks that have formed and do not seem to be going away, also my skin is looking very dry and I'm afraid where the sacks have formed...it will leave me with extra sagging skin in that area....am I just not waiting long enough? Has anyone else had under eye injections with Radiesse and gotten good results??? If so, PLEASE RESPOND.....I'M SO DESPERATE & SCARED RIGHT NOW.
radiesse wreck 9 Apr 2013
Sounds like my exact situation asha....I know what you mean. Concealer definitely makes it worse.
DA50 7 Apr 2013
I just had radiesse injected under my eyes 4 days ago.....is there anything I can do to try and get it out since it's only been 4 days???? I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW....Large fluid sacks have formed with some discoloration....I'M VERY SCARED AND WANT THIS STUFF OUT!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME....My doctor said she only uses Radiesse for under eyes???? Why????
radiesse wreck 8 Apr 2013
It's a horrible experience. There's nothing you can do. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but really. It's a nightmare. Wait it out a couple of years. It will go away, but it takes a couple years.
DA50 8 Apr 2013
The doctors office is telling me that the product attracts a lot of water and that this is probably what is happening to me and to lightly massage the area to help get rid of the fluid. But reading all these posts and the horrible outcomes have me on edge!!! Radiesse Wreck....did it take 2 years for yours to go away? Did you have it under your eyes??
