I got Radiesse injected in my undereye area, cheeks, and nasolabial folds about 7 months ago. The products caused persistent swelling and large lumps, that make my face look grotesque. I underwent a lower blepharoplasty 3 months before the Radiesse injections. All the procedures were performed and suggested by the same doctor. I am feeling desperate. Will those hard bumps ever dissolve?
Answer: Will Radiesse dissolve? In my experience with Radiesse, I have never seen it not go away. It is possible this could take 12-18 months from the time of injection though. Some physicians have been using injections of sodium thiosulfate to help dissolve Radiesse faster.

Answer: Radiesse can be diffused 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.

Answer: Radiesse Radiesse is a calcium based product that will dissipate over time, usually in about a year. I would recommend following up with the doctor to address your concerns.

Answer: Radiesse under the eyes Thanks for your question and helpful photos. So sorry you are experiencing this problem. I would recommend seeing a board certified and experienced oculoplastic surgeon to see if they can remove the filler manually and correct the problem. Radiesse is unfortunately not a regular HA filler and can't be dissolved with hyaluronidase like all the HA fillers. Please see an expert, and good luck!
