“Radiesse is a Terrible Product”

Hi I am in the process of dealing with a Radiesse nightmare. I had Radiesse injected under my eyes and I have a raised line under one eye and a reddish ballon under the other. I am trying to figure out how long this wil llast or if I should have it removed. Now tha t ime has passed has your Radiessse dissapated? Thank you

I'm having similar problems. One eye is ok, the other one has a ridge along the orbital ridge which is lumpy, and a deep red bruise below it. It get better periodically, but still has to be hidden with makeup, and then still not completely. It has been 7 weeks. My doctor is a certified board plastic surgeon. He says he has done hundreds of these, and I'm the only one that has ever had any problems. He is now doing ultra-sound treatments to try to break up the lump. He says it is just edema that the lymphatic system is blocking, but everytime I try to "massage" it away, it just swells up much worse. This doctor has done other procedures for me which have been fantastic. But I'm tired of having to go out looking like a freak and lying to people and saying I was stung by a bee! How long does a bee sting last anyway? Any hope that this can be fixed? Does anyone know?

My God, my Doctor said the same thing, "Oh I've done this before on hundreds of people without a problem" Well, apparently there's LOTS of people who have a problem with it!!!!! These Doctors need to have some retribution for using a product where it is NOT RECOMMENDED, and then going off saying its our problem we had a reaction to it. Now I am so scared because the person 'Shannon10' who wrote in the its been 2 years and she STILL has the problem. Unbelievable.

I think that we need to look at getting a Class Action Suit. Anyone interested?

I think it means that the actual substance that is injected into your face (calcium hydroxyapatite) eventually dissipates, however the effects of the product (e.g. increased collagen production, nodule formation) can be more long term or permanent.
