Fluid retention from Radiesse possible?

Question

I had Radiesse injected into the temples. After about a week I noticed fluid retention around the eyes. The Dr said it's impossible to have fluid retention caused by Radiesse injected into the temples as it is injected deep into a cavity in the temple area. I am asking for your individual opinions; is it possible that Radiesse can cause fluid retention around the eyes when injected deep into the temple area?

Yes, there can be swelling after any injection. Swelling can last 1-2 weeks after your injections. Radiofrequency and laser can help soften results.  5fu or saline injections are also options. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thanks for your question-

Fluid retention is just another way of saying swelling. When you had the injection into your temples, localized swelling results. This swelling drains through the natural drainage pathways and is aided largely by gravity- thus the next stop can be some eye swelling.

If this doesn't subside in 1-2 weeks contact you injector again.

Hope this helps and God Bless!
