  • Posted to Experienced Delayed Severe Allergic Reaction To Radiesse (Carrier Gel) - Scottsdale, AZ on 26 Aug 2012

    I had filler, which at first I thought was restylane but found out it was Radiesse, placed in hollows under eyes. Everyday is an adventure as to how I will look. I believe that what I have been experiencing for almost 8 months is an allergic reaction swelling, itchy eyes, dry patchy skin to the product. Last week went to a dermatology center in Miami because the skin under my eyes had dry patches that looked like dermatitis or eczema ---sagging skin under my eyes is the added bonus. I have done a lot of research and from what I read this product can last 12 months or more under eyes. The derm told me that Radiesse only lasts 6 months, but on the web site for the center says a year or more????? Are Dr.s protecting the companies that produce the fillers? Wish I could find a dr. that isn't trying to push more filler and plastic surgery. I have been using Benadryl at night, sudafed or zyrtec by day, and clarisonic opal to break up this crap. Trying to stay positive, but I have seen two plastic surgeons who a pushing for surgery for sagging skin that was not there before. My family and friends can testify to that.
