I had Radiesse injections almost 7 weeks ago and unfortunately I formed nodules under both eyes. I've read that steroid injections can help shrink the nodule. Is this true? Or is there the possibility of injecting Juvederm around the area to even it out a bit since I have these bags under my eyes? If I knew what I know now about Radiesse I would have never injected it anywhere on my body... There are too many ifs and the results are irreversible. I feel like I look ten years older ....

Answer: Defusing Radiesse Radiesse is an FDA-Approved filler that we use very frequently in our office to sculpt the contours of the face. Since we are a national center of excellence for filler reversal, we also encounter patients from other doctors' offices who wish to have Radiesse fillers removed for one reason or another. In our office, we employ a directed technique to visualize the filler material, if possible on ultrasound, and then use non-surgical methods to dissolve the filler or granuloma tissue using intralesional injections. There are many methods using a combination of enzymes, intralesional modulators of scar tissue, and Kenalog to help reduce volume and remaining filler. These techniques require meticulous attention to detail and can be performed at intervals of two to three weeks to achieve longterm effect.

Answer: Radiesse lumps I do not prefer Radiesse under the eyes for exactly this reason. Restylane is better. I personally do not advise excision or steroid injections to the areas; Radiesse will dissipitate and there is always the risk of scarring from excision which cannot be ignored. Let me also add that, given the extent of your lower lid issues, you may have been better served by blepharoplasty. If you are unhappy with the current situation, it may be wise to see a board certified plastic surgeon to inquire about surgical options.
