Puffy Eye After Radiesse for Cheek Augmentation

You should always seek out a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for aesthetic filler injection. Cheek augmentation injection with fillers such as Radiesse or Perlane requires precision and artistry to ensure symmetry and maximal lift effect. Swelling after Radiesse is not all that uncommon, particularly when injected near the lower eyelids; however it should subside after few days unless the filler material gets inside the orbitial rim. Definitely look for a second opinion from an aesthetic physician right away.

 

Radiesse is a powerful and effective dermal filler that successfully corrects deep lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas of the face. As Radiesse is based from the ground substance of bone, it has a much longer longevity then hyaluronic acid fillers. For this reason, injections with Radiesse may have complications that last significantly longer than other fillers. This is an important reason on why these injections should only be done by MDs. Now that you have this complication, please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess the injury and determine what the next course of action, they may recommend cold compresses and massage, opening the area and respecting some of the Radiesse, or possibly injecting the area with another medication that may help through the strong inflammatory response
