Radiesse: Q&A
Ask a QuestionCan This Be Corrected? Unhappy With Tear Trough Treatment with Juvederm Ultra Plus Followed by Radiesse (photo)
A month ago I received treatment with Juvederm Ultra Plus for tear trough area. Post treatment I looked worth than before (left side looked uneven from the right side and looked like I had a big bruise). Doctor said, give it time. Yesterday went in again, and he did Radiesse to fix. It looks even worse... Still looks like I have a bruise on the left because of uneveness. What can be done to fix this? People are asking what's wrong with your face? I am at a loss! Tired of putting money into this!

Fillers under eyes
First, I'm sorry you are unhappy. But the good news is that everything you did will, over time, go away. Bruising under the eyes is rather common. The skin there is thinner and bruising should be expected. I usually don't do anything under the eyes for about a week after fillers have been put there, as so much under-surface bruising and swelling is there, it's hard to determine everything. So, that being said, I wouldn't have done Radiesse on you right away. The uneven...

Correction of lower lid fillers
First of all, you don't look terrible. You may be dissatisfied with the result and, yes, it will take time for it to dissipate but I would not recommend more intervention as this will only create more opportunity for problems. Radiesse is not recommended for the tear troughs because of its thickness; Restylane is preferrable.

Fillers To The Tear Trough - Correcting Undesired Results
I do not inject Radiesse into the tear trough (lower eyelid) area as it is really too robust of a filler for that location. The good news is that both of these fillers are temporary and the results will eventually go away. You are likely still experiencing some bruising and swelling and the areas may therefore improve in appearance after another week or so. If there is no improvement at that point, return to the physician who did your injections as he should be able to inject...

Can This Be Corrected? Unhappy With Tear Trough Treatment with Juvederm Ultra Plus Followed by Radiesse
Sorry but I never use Radiesse for under eyes. Too thick! Best to seek in person opinions than over the net.

Filler in Tear Troughs
From your picture, it looks like perhaps you could use a touch more on the left side. But remember, it's NORMAL to be asymmetric. In fact, you would not look natural if you had perfect symmetry. The bruise will go away.

Best fillers for tear troughs
Contrary to what several of the physicians have said below, Radiesse can be used quite safely for the tear troughs under the eyes. I have been injecting Radiesse into this area on a daily basis for many years and have never had a patient who is dissatisfied. Radiesse needs to be diluted and softened properly by mixing with lidocaine just prior to the injection. It is then injected deeply, in small quantities, and is gently smoothed into place. When done right, it gives a nice result that is...

Fillers under eyes
Firstly, as opposed to the others, I think that Radiesse can be injected under eyes in small quantities when done correctly. If done incorrectly it can be a disaster that can not be corrected. I do not think that the Radiesse is your problem. I think that you are getting a tyndal effect from the Juvederm. I do not use this under the eyes. Fair , thin skinned patients get blue/purple rings under their eyes if this is injected as all injections in this area are somewhat "superficial"...

Tear trough correction now worse.
Patients who have your problem are very upset and rightly so. You go in to look better and come out looking worse. But you need to be patient now to not make matters worse. It will take a few weeks for the area to settle down and your surgeon is the only one who knows how much he put in and should be able to advise you.

Lower lid filler problem
If you had Radiesse yesterday, you need it to give it more time to settle and swelling/bruising to go away. If after another ~2 weeks you are still unhappy, consider a second opinion. Juvederm can be dissolved but not Radiesse.

Tear Trough Correction
I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your treatment. Unfortunately hyaluronidase can remove Restylane and Juvederm, but not Radiesse. In this case, I recommend waiting for the fillers to dissipate. Based on your photo, it does not appear that you have a prominent bruise but I could understand how you might be frustrated by paying money and not getting the result you want. Next time, I would ask your doctor about using Restylane underneath your eyes...
