Radiesse in Cheeks to Help for Under Eye Bags?

    If you want the tear trough filled to minimize bags, then an HA filler like Restylane to the tear trough is better than injecting Radiesse in the cheek.  If you have malar bags, Radiesse to the cheek to blend the transition can be entertained.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Radiesse will augment your cheeks though 1mL total does not usually create a dramatic effect. This type of treatment does not usually camouflage undereye bags. Most plastic surgeon and dermatologists will use either hyaluronic acid type fillers such as Juvederm in the undereye as it has a lower risk of complications in this area and can be dissolved with Vitrase if needed. I hope this information is helpful.
