  I am sorry you are going through so much! It can be scarey to be sure. I too had a reaction but not to Radiasse. It was Botox. Needed oral steroids over a few weeks and topical ointment for nasty rash that appeared after 10 days of a drooping draining swollen right eye. My face is fine, just coping with the rash on the rest of my upper torso. Yikes! I trust my Skin RN though. She is certified to give these and does a very good job. She has cared for my face for over 7 years without incident, and under the supervision of a Plastic Surgeon. However it is my understanding that fillers that are thick like Radiasse and Juvederm aren't normally used in the eye area. Botox is better suited for that spot. I would demand to see the Medical Director of that facility, get a copy of your records and then go see an attorney. Sounds like someone either goofed or refuses to acknowledge your sensitivities.

  Did you have any other procedure done with the Radiasse? I had Botox injections at the same time I did mine and had a reaction to the Botox. I too am on a Medrol Dose Pak for a week and will be using a RX ointment. But, as far as what you are experiencing, I would demand to see the Medical Director of this physicians' facility and threaten legal action if this isn't resolved. It is possible that who ever did your injections didn't inject them correctly or hit the wrong spot. Radiasse isn't normally used around the eyes I am told. Just wondering about that one.......

  Radiesse I am told by my RN is not meant for lips. Hyouronic Acid is better. Ask your Dr. about using that instead. It is common for lumps for form on the inside of the mouth but those will go away with gentle massage over a few days to a week or two. I had that same issue too. It's fine now.

  I too have had Radiasse in the corners of the mouth. I was told to gently massage and use ice when it was tender and alittle swollen. You may have been too vigorous and applied too much pressure. I am pleased with my results.
