Will RUSTY STAIN on my Skin from Radiesse Ever Go Away?

May 16, 2013
Asked By:DA50

I'm 6 wks post Radiesse injections for tear troughs. I now know that most PS will not use Radiesse in this area due to problematic issues. Day 2 I developed raised fluid sacks that had a yellowish/brownish color to them (looked like festoons) they finally went away leaving me with a light rust color on the upper cheek bone. Could the carrier gel be causing an inflammatory reaction still and can it cause permanent scaring? I'm afraid to do anything else to this area in fear it will only make it worse.
