Radiesse isn't best used under the eyes

The tear troughs are best filled with HA fillers like Restylane for all the reasons listed in the other responses. Unfortunately, the problem you have may be there for a year at least. Massage and time and cover-up are your best friends and only reasonable answers. I wouldn't advise injecting anything more into the area. Hopefully your procedure was done by a physician who will follow you closely and supportively and who also hopefully has learned from your unfortunate experience and has stopped using Radiesse around the eyes.

It slowly goes down with time but can last for longer than a year. In fact biopsies of areas that have had radiesse injections have shown that it can last up to 3 years or more.  But the volume that remains later on is no more than 30% of the original volume that was injected. The area that is injected also determines how long it lasts.  In more mobile areas, the effect is less and goes away faster.

In my experience Radiesse can be expected to last around a year. This is unfortunately a very difficult problem, and I would sit down with your plastic surgeon and have an examination. It could be improved with direct milking or removal of the product, but it is difficult to know without knowing what exactly was done during the procedure and what your examination is like now.
