I wanted to get rid of hollowing under my eyes. I went to a plastic surgeon and he used Radiesse in the "tear trough" area. Now I look horrible. Seems like there are little pillows under my eyes, which are blue and hard to cover with makeup. I wish I would have never had the procedure done. Also, Dr. was recommended my Liquid Face lift Association!

Helpful review?

My Doctor: name not provided

Doctor doesnt seem to care about my concerns. States you could just cover it with makeup!

Hi Detroit5235, 

Welcome to the community. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. You might also want to check out the question from our doctor Q&A, Radiesse for Under Eye Bags, hopefully it might help. Please keep us updated. Thanks so much for the review.

Thanks,

-Britt

Hi! Thank-you for the reply. I must say RealSelf has honestly saved me from depression! To read others stories about what has happened to them, and how to fix the problem, or deal with the problem... really helps. Now that is has been a month since my procedure, the pillows have deflated and the blue bruises are gone. I can't believe it took an entire month+ to heal!! I definately would not pay to have this done EVER again.

I deeply feel for the people who have suffered under the hands of a greedy and reckless medical industry here in the USA. I had this despicable product Injected under my jaw line over two years ago, and posted here on realself about my massive inflammatory response, marked by persistent redness along the jaw, constant infections and puss coming up, and huge swollen lumps the size of ping pong balls on some days. This initial reaction lasted a full two months, after doctor after doctor turned me away In shock and awe, afraid of injecting me w steroids longterm and baffled by the sight of me. For the following year Lumps under my skin remained distorting my face, and the redness and the endless cycle of puss filled lesions continued, actually moving from site to site on my face, up from the jaw all along my cheeks and hairline. at two years, tens of thousands of dollars of laser surgery, alternative health treatments and a univeristy's share of knowledge on holistic and high tech skin care later, I still suffer constant redness all along the bottom half of my face, with dozens of new puss filled white heads coming up daily. I lost a full two years of my life and only now am able to manage this condition, namely the constant stinging pain has finally subsided (I couldn't rest my face on a pillow at night or touch my skin without shooting stinging pain). So this is my great success. I have been unemployable In any job out in public as I have looked sick, infected, deformed and "on drugs". Cops have stopped me multiple times and profiled me as a drug user. My sex life suffered immensely save for my spiritual compassion and confident personality. I have had to reorient my career path entirely because if this problem. All caused by injections that I paid for and that were administered by a fully competent and reputable surgeon, or so I thought. This product is evil and had ruined my life, only demanding me to abandon vanity and seek spiritual and personal transcendence to overcome the judgments of people around me, employers, police, my own family, and potential lovers. I have found relieve of sorts through diligent, extremely informed high tech natural skin care, radical lifestyle changes to live near a natural sulfuric hotspring in southern California, a 100% zero gluten diet, no more plastic surgery anything, total mind body health and a dissolution of my ego.. And still I am marked, scarred, can't shave, and spend more time than I ever dreamt I would "grooming" and doing damage control. I am more informed than any medical doctor, naturopath, esthetician on skin care now, diet and lifestyle. Out of necessity. Out of desperation, out of pain and constant discomfort. This Product single handedly derailed my entire Life and career and I still suffer two years on..
