White Lumps Under Eyes After Radiesse

Question viewed 698 times

I received Radiesse injections for nasolabial lines. The practitioner injected my cheeks from under my eyes and around the rest of my cheeks, as well as the folds next to my nose. After almost two weeks, most of the swelling is gone; however, I am now left with a white lump under each eye, approximately 1/8" of inch wide and 3/4" of inch long. It is somewhat firm and fairly noticable even with concealer. What is this and is there anything that can be done to get rid of this unattractive effect?

If the white lump is close to the skin surface it could be removed with a small incision or the whole lump could be excised. Make sure you injector is qualified to handle this kind of complication.... more
