Be Careful in the Cheeks....makes Undereye Circles

I had Radiesse injected in my cheeks to lift them as they sag with age. This helps the lines by the nose as well because the skin is being lifted. HOWEVER.. with plumper cheeks ( which were very nice an youthful) the hollows of your eyes tend to look deeper, therefore darker. I have to use more coverup under my eyes. The product feels and looks nice and natural. I look fresher and more youthful with makeup on, but without it the eye circles are a problem. Next time, I'm hoping to do less in the cheeks and try and avoid the circles. With injectables it's all about the skill of the practioner, and also seeing how it affects your face. What works for one person may not work for another. You have to adjust your treatments the next time around and hopefully fine tune it. But with a bad Doctor they are unable to do that. As far as pain...I had the area numbed so that was fine, but the swelling lasted several days and I did look rather odd and puffy. It takes a few weeks to really settle in.
