There are many different fillers that can be used. An advantage of Restylane or Juvederm for this area is that should there be an overcorrection, or a bump, it can be treated more easily than Radiesse. Although, I am not aware of any cases of blindness, this is a theoretical risk of injections for the lower... more
Radiesse for sunken eyes?
I'm 47 years old. I went for a consultation looking to find serums or products for my face. The lady I saw said not to waste time with products but said I look tired around my eyes and suggested getting Radiesse filler, Botox, and maybe Fraxel treatments.
Well, I can't afford it all but am considering the filler since my under eyes are a bit dark and sunken. Should I look at other fillers or would Radiesse be a good one to start with? Thanks for your advice!

Radiesse is great for filling in the cheeks, marionnette lines or nasolabial folds, but it is not safe to use around the eyes. You are much better off using either Juvederm or Restylane. The results are very good with Juvederm and Restylane and last up to a year. Also, they are reversible if you don't like them.
A: Radiesse is not the one for your eyes

Radiesse is not the filler to place in the very delicate lower eyelid area. The area is unforgiving, and if there is a lump of Radiesse, it will... more
A: Sunken eyes
Although with good injection technique and placement, Radiesse can give a nice result in that area, generally speaking, I would not recommend Radiesse for the tear trough/lower eyelid area due to the potential for lumps. You are better off with small volumes of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and... more
A: I do not recommend Radiesse for sunken eyes.
Hi! This is a very tricky area. You need the most forgiving filler, which is Restylane. It needs to be injected DEEPLY and in very small amounts. The results can be very pleasing and long lasting. You are much more likely to get lumps with Radiesse under the eyes.
A: Radiesse is A Great Filler but Not My Favorite Around the Eyes
Radiesse is a great filler and one that I utilize al lof the time. It is wonderful for facial contouring of the cheeks, nasolabial fold, and jaw line. Radiesse has little calcium deposits in it and it is preferable not to use it around the thin skin of the eyelid. Most cosmetic surgeons... more
