Injecting Radiesse in the lower lids is not a great idea. It can leave very conspicuous bumps that are difficult to treat. I would use Juvederm or Restylane very carefully.
Radiesse under eyes
Steven Wallach, MD answers: Radiesse for under eye bags?
I'm considering getting radiesse under my eyes to help with the Bags.....what is your opinion. I've been reading a lot of reviews that don't suggest it under the eyes. I'm 27 so my skin should not be to thin. I'm considering getting radiesse under my eyes to help with the Bags. What is your opinion?

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.
