I had Radiesse under my eyes for my tear troughs in February. I didn't see any results, and it even made my dark circles darker with a deep shadow. Why is that? What can I do about this? Would it go back the same way before?

Answer: Difficult problem The tear trough deformity can be a difficult problem to fix. Deep fillers such as Radiesse can be a great solution to the problem. However, the injector must understand the anatomy and thus the amount of filler needed. You may also need a layered filler. Meaning Radiesse deep over the bone and a hyaluronic acid filler like Juvederm in the superficial tissue. The dark circles under the eyes are due to the blood vessels being more visible. This is likely because the Radiesse is pushing them more superficially. So you might want to consider a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat redraping.
