Is This Tear Trough Swelling Normal?

February 17, 2011
Asked By:Bremerton8886 in Bremerton

I had 1.5cc's of radiesse injected under each eye 50 hrs ago. Instead of getting a dental block, I opted for the lidocaine to be mixed in with the filler. I am not sure if the doctor has ever done filler this way and I'm suspicious that he added too much lidocaine to the filler and as a result, cause the swelling/stretching. He said that the swelling was due to the sheer volume of the lidocaine and the shot was 70% lidocaine. How long will lidocaine take to fully dissolve?
