Posted to Did you get Radiesse under eyes? on 30 Jul 2009

While Radiesse is a wonderful dermal filler, I would strongly discourage its use in the under-eye area. The lower eyelid skin is too thin to redrape over Radiesse effectively, leaving bumps and asymmetries that will last up to 18 months. It is less resistant to massage and nearly impossible to mold into a tear trough deformity, plus there is no enzyme that can be injected to dissolve Radiesse should you not like the result. 

Stick with Restylane or Perlane. Both are hyaluronic acid gels that are easy to work with, look great in the tear troughs, orbital hollows, and malar crescents, are malleable and massage-able, and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase should you not like the result.
