I had radiesse injected under my eyes 10 months ago and I still have swelling, bags and now wrinkles under my eyes. I am so depressed and upset that I look 10 years older. I have seen a dermatologist and he said that the swelling should go away when the radiesse does, which can last up to 3 years... The injecting doctor is no help(his answer is to keep me on oral steroids, which he kept me on for 7 months) Please help me, what can I do or who can I see Any advise would be appreciated.

I still have bulging bags under both eyes...it has been 10 months, I was on oral steroids(for 7 months), prescribed my the injecting dr. until my family dr. found out and took me off of them, saying that was way too long to be on them. I now have really bad wrinkles to go along with the bags... I think the wrinkles are from months of swelling of the delicate under eye tissue. The swelling is better but still very obvious and depressing. I am just beside myself as to what to do. I seriously look 10 years older. I have seen a dermatologist and he said that radiesse can last up to 3 years and that it is now calcified and I will have swelling untill the radiesse goes away. I have tried many creams and compresses... Any advise would be great. Good luck to anyone with bad radiesse results.

I had radiesse injected July 31, 2008 in nasal labial folds, corners of my mouth and to fill a small scar on my face, the doctor said I paid for the whole tube and asked if I wanted the rest put under my eyes that it would just cover my slight dark circles... so i said yes I guess so. The worst mistake of my life. I still have a huge red lump under my right eye and a smaller red lump under my left eye, the doctor said I had a very rare allergic reaction and had me on steriods for a month and they did help with the swelling(did not reduce the radiesse just the reaction swelling) but as soon as I went off them the swelling returned and I look 15 years older and I am so depressed. I hate looking at myself and I hate all the make up I have to wear. I hide from family and friends. Last week he injected hyalauronic(sp) acid under my right eye... did nothing. Oh and the radiesse in all the other places is gone... it seems like it did nothing except stay where I never wanted it in the first place. Please someone help me, there has got to be something or someone who can do something or tell mw how to get rid of radiesse... this has ruined my life and I dont know how much longer I can take this

I also had radiesse under my eyes ( and in my lips and nasal labial folds, hat the lumps there too), over 3 weeks ago, and now the swelling and brusing is gone from my eyes, but... I am left with a huge lump under my right eye and a smaller lump under my left eye. Both eyes are still red like a slight rash where the radiesse is and I look 15 years older. I have been told my only option is to wait. I am desperate for a way to fix it, if you hear of any fixes please let me know. I feel your pain and I hope you dont look as bad as I do. Good luck Bobbi

This is so disturbing! I also had a reaction of some sort. I immediately got a severve sinus infection and under my eyes is a red rash over the radiesse injections, along with lumps that are huge and look terrible. I had radiesse injected in my lips (which I also hate due to the lumps)and nasal labial folds and the Dr said where else do you want it, since you have quit a bit left to use... so he suggested to put it under my eyes, not to fill hollows just to cover very mild dark circles... I cant believe I let him talk me into it. So depressed. I have been told I just have to wait. I have been hiding from the world for the last 3 weeks, I dont know how much longer I am supposed to wait and no one will tell me any thing. I also called Radiesse directly and they told me they could only talk to my injecting doctor... so no help there, any suggestions, I am desperate to look normal again.
