Puffy Eye After Radiesse for Cheek Augmentation

October 2, 2008
Asked By:tld in minneapolis

I am not able to tell if my PA put Radiesse too close to my eye to fill in my cheek. It has been puffy with a small amount of bruising for over two weeks with no subsiding (well the bruising gets better and then comes back). It looks like I have a black eye. The PA is not sure if there is some in the area either. The other side of my face looks nothing like it and is beautiful. She did say we filled the side with the puffy eye fuller than the other, so it may be pushing it up towards the eye. She did also do a lot of "shaping" and rubbed under the eye quite a bit. This has changed the shape of my eye and is kind of impeding my vision. Is there anything I can do if there is Radiesse in the "wrong area" (area between the eye and nose)? Does anyone know how long it will last if it is in this area? (Maybe it will dissolve faster?) I'm trying to ice it but....it doesn't seem to make a difference. Help!
