I agree with Dr. Lupo that Radiesse would be a poor choice for this area. I would go with one of the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) or collagen (Cosmoderm/Cosmoplast). A small amount of Botox 2 weeks prior to the filler injections would be ideal. For long-term improvement in these lines, consider a deeper chemical peel or ablative laser resurfacing.Good luck.
Juvederm, Prevelle Silk, Restylane, and Cosmoderm are the best filler for those fine peri-oral radiating smoker/lipstick lines. Radiesse in this area can cause lumping. The constant movement can cause both Sculptra and Radiesse to lump around the mouth. A little Botx also goes a long way to improve these lines.www.drmarylupo.com

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxyapatite injectable that is useful for nasolabial folds and other soft tissue defects. I would not inject to rejuvenate sunken eyes as the tissue of the lower lids is very thin and injection can result in bumps and granulomas that are not cosmetically pleasing.
Hi Debbie, Yes, it does sound as if the second branch of your Trigeminal nerve was affected by the local anesthetic nerve block, and/or too much Radiesse too close to the nerve causing compression of the nerve. The good news is that this is almost never a permanent complication. The bad news...
I would confirm this prior to traveling to Peru. The cost of the Radiesse would be prohibitive. From a USA standpoint this is off lable and exceptionally unusual. The volume of material required would be cost prohibitive.
Bruising and swelling can occur from any injection. In reviewing your photograph I only see what appears to be some skin bruising but not any gross swelling. That should go away in a few days. Initially bruising and swelling may be perceived as uneven results but that will settle...
