Radiess is Not for the Tear Troughs

Stephen Prendiville, MD answers: Can I get Radiesse removed?

Does anyone know how long Radiesse last under eyes?

Radiesse is described as a semi-permanent filler, meaning that it can last in the body for up to 7 years.  It typically creates a cosmetic benefit in the nasolabial fold for 9-18 months (1 year average).

I can see that you have come to the conclusion that Radiesse is not a good idea in the tear troughs.  Use of Radiesse in this area is off-label and should probably be considered a strict contraindication. There is a possibility that some of the Radiesse could be excised if it is very superficial.

I recommend a consultation with a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon in your area to get an expert opinion
