What can I do to get rid of this oval lump under my eye after Radiesse Injections

Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that is an excellent option for patients who desire a longer-lasting filler alternative to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. In our office, we use Radiesse to complement structural areas of the face and contour bony prominences. Our office also is a center of excellence for filler complication treatments and we see patients who have been treated by other doctors and have undesirable results from Radiesse or other long-lasting fillers. We have treatment options available for Radiesse filler nodules, granulomas, and soft tissue thickening. The first step would be to diagnose the nodularity and determine whether there is an option for surgical vs. non-surgical removal. Surgical excision is a possibility in some patients; whereas others with more diffuse fillers may benefit from intralesional therapy using scar modulators and enzymes and kenalog. Radiesse complications may be long-lasting and prompt action is key. Patients who have no access to an expert in the field should begin gentle massage of the areas of nodularity with Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily. RF and invasive lasers can actually do more damage by stimulating further collagen growth.

In my practice every cosmetic patient is addressed separately as there are no "cookbook" approaches even after almost 20 years of filler experience.We use many different fillers in the same patient to achieve a optimal correction. If you have a lump from injection, than I  would recommend you discuss with a dermatologist board certified and experienced in fillers in your area.

Radiesse is a thicker filler that requires placement in deeper areas. Because of this it is not the ideal filler for the tear trough (under yee area). Given that it has only been one day post injection it is possible that what you are seeing is swelling, bruising, or even a hematoma. Try to alternate warm and cool compresses. See the doctor that injected you for further evaluation and you may have to give it a couple of weeks to see what direction this is headed.

Sorry about your experience. I am not sure how long ago you had your injection. Depending on the timing it could be swelling or the actual material (Radiesse). Typically the swelling takes several days to weeks to decrease however I have seen patients where it took up to 2 months for all the swelling to subside. Although I agree that Radiesse is not for under the eyes (as it is a very viscous material) I assume that it was injected in the area of your cheek under your eyes and not directly under your lower eyelid. Please let me know if that is correct and also when it was injected.

I do not believe Radiesse is ideal for under the eye filler. You may need to wait at least 12 weeks for all the swelling to settle then re-evaluate and the srgeon will be able to give a better advise as whether this is a filler or granuloma. It may require surgery to remove.
