Radiesse Cheeks under Eyes - Greenwood, IN

ORIGINAL POST

Not sure yet.... Had it injected twice! First time...

Not sure yet.... Had it injected twice! First time I had very little to no bruising. We went conservative the first time and at two weeks we could tell I needed more in left eye and a drop or two in the right. Unfortunately she hit a blood vessel this time and I swell up like a balloon. This time I have to puffy bags under both eyes... Now she did not inject much in cheek area on right.... I'm going to give it time and decide if it was worth it or not. After first injection I was pleased with results... So well see if all goes well...

Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear what happened. How long has it been since you got the second set of injections done?

It was 2 weeks ... This is day 4 and swelling is slowly going down... My bruising is not too bad. She said she was very surprised that I did not swell much the first injection. I will see if I can post some pics of before and after.... Unfortunately I have to work and go out with two puffy eyes...

Thank you so much for posting those pictures - they are soooo helpful!!

I can definitely see the swelling & bruising you are talking about after your second injection. I'm so glad to hear it is starting to go down. I can understand why going out while they are still puffed up & bruised wouldn't be too fun. Hopefully they clear up quick for you.

I've been considering some fillers under my eyes so I'm really interested to hear how this turn out for you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing!

oh my god radiesse is not meant for under eye or any where near eyes. My doctor and the company that makes it does not recommend this product for around the eyes because it would cause droopy eyes and water pockets. stop this right now!
so so sad

Please help. I'm so desperate. I has radiesse injected under my eyes 3 months ago and one eye is red the and wormy and the other is totally black and blue. Ive talked to so many specialists ( dermatologists and ps) and the best advice I've been given is to let it heal. I don't think it's ever going to go away :-(. And thoughts? I'm going to try and post a photo

so so bad, I am sorry and even though I am not a doctor I know Radiesse can cause what you are experiencing if it's injected near the eyes. I wish the clinic you went to had told you that.
unlike some fillers Radiesse can not be "wash out" or dissolved if you choose to take it out of your body and like your specialist said you just have to wait it out and it will be gone in one year.
I would recommend you to start exercising and use sauna because they will boost your materialism and will help you get it out of your body but time is still your best friend.

Please be very careful when you do any sort of injectable in areas near your eyes, nose and lips. You must make sure what you use is appropriate and safe for these sensitive areas. feel better.

Its Been Almost 2 weeks since 2nd injection....

Its Been Almost 2 weeks since 2nd injection. Swelling is getting much better. After this experience I would recommend Radiesse for Cheeks. I had a much better experience with Juvaderm for around the eyes. When Radiesse was injected she did not inject in the hollow of my eyes. She put a lot of pressure at the hollow and I could tell she did go very deep at the cheek bone like she was supposed to... Ill post another pic in 2 weeks and let everyone know my progress. Thank you for all your comments!

The first time I avoided vit e and other herbal supplements and ate lots of pineapple ... And I did very well.. She did 2 syringes the first time. The second time I did not pay much attention to avoiding herbal supplements and did not eat pineapple ... She injected 1 syringe and I swelled up rather quickly. I'm sure it had something to do with it. The swelling gets better as the day goes on and in the morning It's the worst. I am going to use silicone patch to hold some pressure on it when I'm sleeping to see if that helps

Also guys don't go for any off FDA label use even though some products are fine and shows promises just to be on the safe side and if you must do a off label use please do extensive research before it or find a really good doctor or clinic. don't just go for the cheapest discounted spas or med clinics out there. This is your face we are talking about!
We are spending money to make it better not worse!

shows the area that Radiese should be used for. I did a extensive research and 2 consultations with 2 different doctors before I had it injected to the bridge of my nose because it was a off label use. The doctor also immediately mold my the injection in the bridge of my nose before it settles. i was maybe slightly puffy (from the numbing cream) but not very noticeable. i came home and no one noticed and than the numb subsided and within 3 days i see the true result and it was wonderful. Yes, I took a risk and just do a lot of research before you do anything at all. I hope this help you in any small way.

Hi, in the site it falla about using Radiesse On chin. It doesnt say anything about cheekbone. Then it must not be put On the cheekbone? I really Dont know if I should go put On Radiesse. Since I've seen a lot of bad reviews here jejeje. Could someone explain What does it mean when you say Radiesse cant be disolved and the other ones can be. Arent Radiesse and the other fillers( Restylane, juvederm) reversible? When some one said that the surgeon did a lower eyelid surgery and saw the Radiesse that it was like a thin plastic. Does this means it stays there for ever?
