I had Radiesse injected 3 weeks ago under my eyes and I still have a huge bump under one eye. It looks awful but the plastic surgeon that did it keeps saying it's normal. I had Radiesse injected in my cheeks before and never had a problem. What should I do?

Perhaps it is still swollen. It can take several weeks for the bruising and swelling to go down. Typically, I use hyaluronic acid fillers in that senstive area due to the potential congestioon of the area and the small space. Belotero and Restalyn are my preferences. Radiesse is terrific for deeper structures such as the cheeks and nasolabial folds.

The injections were $3000 of radiesse. The doctor said the reason fillers don't work is because I never had enough. I left looking like a freak, and 4 days later, it dissolved and no change. Is there anyway I can get results?

This was my first Radiesse treatment. The swelling has my face lopsided. They didn't explain to me that I'm not supposed to massage the swollen areas; I saw it later in my post-treatment brochure. I massaged my face and already a bruise has popped up. I'm freaking out, what have I done? What do I do?

A red bump with white pus appeared after a Radiesse treatment two months ago. I didn't know exactly when it came up so the doctor who injected the Radiesse said it was a zit, and I spread infection by rubbing on it. It changes in severity each day. I tend to get cystic zits and have them lanced occasionally. The dermatologist didn't know if this was a zit or from Radiesse.

I had Radiesse 5 days ago. One of the areas injected was the nasolabial folds. After 2 days, my right side developed a solid red area along the fold.It is now 3 days later and the area is raw, dry and developing little blisters and there is a pulsating feel. I have had Radiesse many times before and never had this side effect. What happened? What can I do? I am currently taking Alleve.
