I had radiesse under my eyes to fill in the hollows last December and they still look great. I love the results. You might need some tweaking, call your PS and discuss your concerns. Are you using cold compresses on the swelling, I had minimal swelling and no bruising at all. I did stop taking any kind of supplements 2 weeks before the procedure and took Arnica before and after so I wouldn't bruise.

I stopped all vitamins, etc. 2 weeks before I had my injections Radiesse, Restylane and Botox. Also took Arnica Montana for 2 days before and 3 days after. I had no bruising at all. I recently had the Botox refreshed and went to work the next morning - no bruising. What we think are harmless supplements can actually thin the blood which causes bruising.

I have found it takes 7-10 days for me to get "Botoxed". So hang in there.

Hi Maggie, I went to Dr. {edited - see note below} who has an office on Michigan Avenue and also in Oak Brook, not far from the mall. I went to the Oak Brook location, you first go in for a consultation visit, then schedule your appointment. Because I was having more than Botox, for two weeks prior to my appt I did not take any aspirin, certain vitamins, etc. that may have some blood thiner results which cause bruising. I also took an herb before and after the procedure which was for non-bruising (I had absolutely no bruising). Everyone was very nice and I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. G is an artist. He is a Plastic Surgeon Good Luck! -- Editor's Note: Provider information has been added to the review (below the title).

I agree, had Radiesse a week ago took Arnica before and after and no bruising at all. Radiesse, Botox and some Restylane all with out any pain numbing stuff. It wasn't that bad. I'm very happy with all that was done, I am a newbie with fillers, etc. but am lovin' it. My PS was fantastic and the nurse and everyone in the office was great. I'm already thinking my cheeks could use some lifting.
