Hi- I went to an injector used and recommended by many friends. I had no idea until after she was done that she used radiesse which cannot be dissolved. She injected my temples, cheekbones, and orbitals a little bit. I had extreme discomfort and swelling for WEEKS around my lower eyes. The swelling finally went away and my skin feels thinner than it ever has before and I’m left with horrribleeee discoloration. This provider seems to have scarred me for life and I’m livid. Can anything be done?
