Radiesse side effect

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Radiesse side effects - How long does swelling last?

I has Radiesse put under eyes and cheeks.. looked great days after and this is my 3rd week and i swell dailey under eyes and i am able to push it down and then bruised and with in hours...i have werild spots of swelling. I did see dr after 2.5 weeks and he said to keep pushing on it and did not seem concerned at all. Is there someone out there that can tell me it finally stops and settles and smooths out or is nightmare going to last for next year, I am so upset.

Hi Carolyn,

I am sorry that you are suffering from the side effects of your injections.  Hopefully by now your symptoms have resolved.  If not, you may want to speak with your physician about possibly giving you a shot of DepoMedrol.  I have never heard of something like this continuing for an extended period.  Good luck, be well, and let us know how it goes.

Dr. P
