In Feb 2009,I had Juvederm injected in tear troughs & NL folds which had to be tx'd with hyaluronidase. March 2009,used Radiesse in the upper cheek area with ok results. Radiesse in Nov. with resultant visible raised lumps under left eye that didn't respond to massage. Sept 2010 changed to Perlane and the Radiesse lumps were no longer visible. Now those lumps are visible again and lumps have now appeared under my right eye.I am 55 yo white female & bruise easily only during these txs.
