I Have a Ridge After Radiesse!! What is It? and How Can I Make It Disappear? (photo)

ms.mariam
I had Radiesse injected (1 syringe) only in my left cheek for assymitry (upper cheek, was told it was "around orbital rim" (8/20/13). After treatment I noticed a ridge under my eye that was never there before. The actual ridge (almost bubble like) (see pics) is not discolored but its leaving a shadow, making it appear as an under eye circle... Is it swelling 2 months later? An edema? Festoon? It was 100% not there before. I have attached pictures. Thank you so much.
