Radiesse and Swelling under Eyes
Radiesse, if injected to the tear troughs, can produce quite a reaction and swelling may persist for quite a while. Once the Radiesse is gone, Restylane is a better choice and can degraded with hyaluronidase if overfilled. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Swelling from Radiesse, What can be done?
Some swelling after Radiesse is normal and expected, But it usually gets better with time not worse. Better to be seen by a physician and get an RX for a Medrol dose pack rather than Cortisone injections which can cause atrophy in the tissues. Estheticians should NOT be "practicing" medicine... This is outside the scope of their practice and licencure.

Swelling After Radiesse
Radiess is FDA-approved for subdermal implantation for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It is not commonly used for under the eyes. After injection, patients may experience redness, bruising, swelling or other local side effects. Most side effects of treatment resolve within a few days. More rare side effects may include swelling that lasts longer, unevenness or firmness in the area injected, and as with any injection, there may be a...

Where can radiesse be injected?
I agree with the other physicians' replies. Radiesse is an excellent filler for volume replacement and is meant to be injected at a deep level. It is not a good choice for thin skinned areas, such as under the eyes, or in the lips. As with all cosmetic procedures, it is imperative to be treated by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with cosmetic experience.

Major swelling under eyes from Radiesse injections
I would recommend for you to go back to your provider (injector) and have them assess the area and they can recommenda better plan for you. You can also look for a center that specializes in corrective work. Thank you for the question.

Radiesse is a good product - in the right location
Radiesse is fairly thick and generally placed deeply. The thin skin under the eyes is not a place for radiesse. We like to use restylane there.
Because radiesse is not a reversible product, you will unfortunately have to wait for it to go away on its own over several months..

Radiesse under eyes - not good!
Radiesse is not an ideal product under the eyes, and even worse is having an esthetician inject it! Estheticians are not trained in injections, biology, anatomy, or any of the necessary criteria for doing good injectables! They are trained (minimally!) in skincare. At this point, seek help from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Radiesse doesn't have a dissolvable counter product, but at least you can get some advice. At this point, time is all you're really going to have....

Radiese under the eyes
Radiesse is not an ideal treatment for under the eyes. This is very thin and vulnerable tissue that is too responsive to the product.
I would stop being treated at the facility you are at. An aesthetician should not be performing invasive procedures on you at all.
I recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who can evaluate you and make safe recommendations to help you.
best of luck.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work Best For Treating Tear Troughs, Dark Circles, Bags, and Crinkles Under the Eyes
Radiesse is a robust volumizing filler and, as a rule, should not be used to treat the thin, delicate, undereye area, nor the lips (can lead to unwanted bumps and lumps). It is reserved for areas needing bulking and reshaping, such as cheeks, chins, jawlines, and temples.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be readily dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase, there is unfortunately no such dissolving enzyme for Radiesse. Intralesional steroids seldom work to dissolve Radiesse...

Swelling after Radiesse
I have a few concerns here. First, Radiesse is not the treatment of choice under the eyes; Restylane works well with fewer risks and I have begun to use Selphyl, which operates as a biological matrix, on an entirely different principle. The second, and even more disturbing thing is that you are referring to your esthetician, who injected cortisone, not to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. No one other than a board certified physician in these specialties should honestly,...

Radiesse and swelling under eyes
Radiesse is not intended for under eye injections. Please get a consultation from a board certified dermatologist with experience with Radiesse and other fillers.
