Had radiesse to smooth cheekbone to undereye (orbital rim?) over two weeks ago. One side looks great, the other has ridge- maybe more so(radiesse placed ON rim instead of inside it?) Anyhow...1 blister above rim on one side for over a week. Then things looked ok. Now.. OUT OF NOWHERE... 2 1/2 wks. later I'm swollen again with the same blister but on EACH side AND my upper lids are swollen and whole face and fingers even feel tight. Uncomfortable and look aweful. Why, how long and what to do???

Swelling of eyelids and fingers after Radiesse

More Problems With Radiesse Used Under Eye Lids

Hi Darla, Time to get back to your injecting physician asap!  Make sure that you do not have an infection.  Radiesse should not be used under the delicate and unforgiving lower eye lid area.  The only filler that should be used in this area is Restylane (in the event that you are brave enough to ever have anything placed there in the future).  I hope that all goes well for you.

Eye swelling after fillers

Best to check with ur dermatologist/plastic surgeon who did the injection. Could be a temporary effect related to improper lymphatic drainage after the injection. May improve with a diuretic [water] pill.
