I Had Radiesse Placed Under my Eyes and Now I Have a Curved Line of Redness and Lighter Skin?

It Has Been 3 Months Since Procedure and it is still there. What caused it and is there anyway to get rid of it? I would surely love input. Thank you.

Radiesse under the Eyes

I usually do not use this filler under the eyes. There is no way to dissolve it, but it will dissipate over time. Your injector might want to try a very dilute Kenalog injection to see if that helps with the redness and inflammation that you are having. The "lighter skin" might be due to the produce itself as it is white.

Radiesse can last up to a year.

Radiesse is not a suitable option to fill the tear troughs - better options are Restylane and Juvederm. Radiesse may last up to a year or more, and there is very little that one can do to remove it. However, the volume injected does go down over a period of time - so there will be some improvement over time - but I am afraid, you will have to be prepared for a good wait. Good luck!

Radiesse under the eyes

Radiesse can be used quite safely for the tear troughs under the eyes, but only by a very experienced injector. I have been injecting Radiesse into this area on a daily basis for many years and have never had a patient tell me they were not happy with the result. 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... more

Hi Tammy V - I had a similar experience with a curved line of redness under each eye after Radiesses. It did not happen until a few weeks after the original injection. Was yours an immediate reaction? Has it improved? I was told time woud fade it, but slowly.
