Eye Swelling Shut One Week After Radiesse, What's The Cause? How To Treat? (photo)

I had radiesse injections in my cheeks one week ago which resulted in a black swollen eye. The swelling is getting worse, not better and now the other eye is starting the same thing. Does this look like an allergic reaction? What can I do to reslove?

Potential Radiesse infection

My concern would be infection. I do not recommend the use of Radiesse in the lower eyelid region because of the propensity for bumps but that is not the problem here. The question would be sterility and potential contamination of the needle. If your injector was not a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, then I would not encourage you to return to him and urge you to seek the opinion of a qualified specialist as soon as possible.

Swelling from Radiesse

Allergic reactions to Radiesse are quite rare and are not likely to appear this quickly. I recommend you return to your physician injector immediately for further evaluation to make certain the areas are not infected.

Eye Swelling and Radiesse

Please return to your injector for an evaluation as soon as possible. You may have some soft tissue injury which will resolve, but you need to be evaluated for a possible infection as well. I have not seen any true allergic reactions to Radiesse.
