Radiesse migrate into the lower eyelid area

I had Radiesse injections recently for facial augmentation. During the procedure, I felt a strange mildy sharp tingling under my left eye and now three days later it is red and swollen under the eye. Is it possible that the Radiesse accidentally went into this area? Will this go away? What can I do about the swelling and redness?

Hi dsw, Most likely there is nothing to worry about.  It sounds as if the needle may have it been close to your infra-orbital nerve which would explain the tingling sensation.  There are blood vessels as well in the area, and a little bit of deep bleeding (under the muscles of your face) may... more
