Radiesse 1 Year Ago - When Will Swelling Under Eyes Go Away?

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!

Given that a shorter duration filler like Restylane can last up to 9 months under the eyes, you probably still have some fo the product there and hopefully your issue will go away as the product dissipates.

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
