It's concerning that a practitioner would use this product under the eyes for what I'm assuming was a "tear trough" procedure. Tear trough treatments should always be done with a Hyaluronic Acid filler (ex: Restylane). I certainly would not recommend persistent massaging this long after the treatment because you may be dealing with granulomas that will not be responsive. Constant massaging will only traumatize the fragile skin in this area and may lead to more irritation and swelling. This is an example of how consumers need to be very aware of who is performing the procedure. As we see by so many postings, being a physician does not equate to the right knowledge and technique. Rather than the title behind one's name, consumers should be proactive in knowing the experience behind their name. BTW, you may want to notify the manufacturer of the product so that they may properly train the practitioner and offer you good feedback on what to do at this point. Good luck.

I had Radiesse about 4 months ago around the nose and mouth, and they also put a bit under my eyes as well. Ever since I have had this horrible reddish bruised-looking area under my eyes that just won't go away; the dermatologist has tried twice to laser it but it hasn't made a bit of difference. The volume looks good, but the discoloration is awful!!! I really wish now I had not done it under the eyes; no one seems to be able to tell me what will get rid of the discoloration. Any help appreciated!!! Deborah

Hi Deborah, We haven't come across this in our practice, but I do have a patient that experienced something similar from another facility. First and foremost, Radiesse should not be injected into the tear trough area. Prolonged pigmentation most likely is related to what we refer to as "post inflammatory hyperpigmentation" which is a result of trauma as it pertains to significant bruising, swelling etc. Our bodies sometimes makes pigmentation as a result of this trauma. Using gentle lasers to this area may be a good option - wich lasers did he/she use and what was the reason he/she gave you? Did the practitioner try a topical remedy as well? Without knowing the above information, it is difficult to provide the appropriate feedback. L. Haney, RN

I totally agree with Lori. We always use Restylane under the eyes. It's a simple procedure (if the physician knows how to do it) and the results are great! I do know of people that have used Radiesse with good results. However, the risks far outweigh any potential benefits. It's just NOT worth it!

I recently had Radiesse injected near my nose/ mouth. I had some extra in the syringe and my DOCTOR and I decided to use it under my eyes...closer to my cheeks than my eyes really. The area only requires a teeny tiny amount of the filler. I am thrilled with the results. I'm sorry to hear that so many others have not had positive experiences.

I had Juvederm injected under my eyes by a board certified plastic surgeon. I had a great amount of immediate bruising which has finlly settled out after 16 days, but I have swelling that just doesn't seem to be getting any better despite massaging and icing. My doc says that I may be having a reaction to the product or perhaps the molecule was too large that she injected and thereby causing the swelling. She also says patience and time, but I'm wondering if Juvederm also "grows" as does Radiesse? Perhaps she injected too much product and that has produced the swelling. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Thank you!
