Radiesse is a filler agent that has Calcium microspheres that stimulate collagen growth on a temporary basis. The problem with this product is that it forms a semisolid implant once injected. This can be felt by patients in most cases when used to fill nasolabial folds. If used too superficially near the skin, it can also be seen.
Because of the anatomy of the lower eyelid, there is not enough soft tissue cover to hide the product once injected. The only place it can be used in the lower eyelid is deep down on the bone. Some physicians use this to increase the effect of other more superficially placed fillers. However, in isolation, you will probably not be pleased with the results. Look into using the hyaluronic acid based fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus). You will be happier with these products.
