I had radiesse injections placed under the eye area over a year ago, and the area is still swollen. Certain days will look way worse. And one eye is definitely worse. Dicoloration has also been a nightmare. I went to an allergist recently who prescribed prendisone- and it worked. Don't want to stay on prendisone. Help!

Swelling under eyes x 1yr after radiesse

Any filler when injected either too deep or obstructing the lympathic flow of the orbit, can cause eye swelling- this results in some days being worse than others as it depends on the fluid around the eyes. Radiesse should dissolve in 12-18mo and the effects should get better. If they do not, there may have been some damage with the injections to the lymphatic system that is causing this. Speaking to your injecting physician of your concerns would be wise.

Swelling Under Eyes from Radiesse

Since prednisone worked to reduce the swelling, there most likely is still some inflammation present. I agree you should not be taking any more prednisone for this, so I would recommend a trial of NSAID's such as ibuprofen for a few weeks to see if that works. If it doesn't, the next step would be to try intralesional injection of a very dilute solution of triamcinolone solution (a corticosteroid) which should help.

In the future, do not let anyone inject Radiesse under the eyes. This is not a good location for... more

Swelling from Radiesse in the tear troughs

Clinically we see the corrective nature of Radiesse lasting for about one year in the face. When the company first marketed the material they indicated it could be present for much more time than that be we didn't see it clinically. You might still have some traces, then, for some time, even more than an additional year, but it may all go away and with it, the swelling. On the other hand, there might be swelling because of the physical nature of injecting the Radiesse and this may... more
