I had Radiesse put in almost three months ago under my eyes above the cheekbone. Huge hard bone lu

Radiesse under the eyes with nodules
Jul 12, 2018

Yours is an interesting situation. I don’t like to use Radiesse under the eyes because it does get firm over time and is primarily reserved for use in the deep tissues typically along the cheek bone and placed right on top of the bone. But even in this situation I don’t like to use it while granting that it can still do a good job. And here’s the reason for my preference not to use it. Firstly, once its in and your practitioner has done as much as he/she can…

My doctor wants to give 2 injections prior to Ultherapy on lower face, demerol and toderol.

Demerol or Toradal injections prior to Ultherapy
Feb 26, 2018

Ultherapy can be variably uncomfortable depending on your sensitivity but is no where close to laser treatment. I think injections of Demerol or Toradal prior to the procedure are a bit of overkill but don’t really object to it. I really don’t want my patients to be uncomfortable so I err on the side of giving them some oral codeine or demerol about a half hour prior to the procedure. I make sure that they are clear before releasing them to go home or perhaps even have…

Radiesse Lumps
Feb 12, 2018

Fortunately, the lump that you are highlighting is not so obvious to the naked eye even though I’m sure you can easily feel it and know that its not right. These lumps happen from either not smoothing the radiesse after injecting it in the deep subcutaneous area or even beneath the muscle or because the practitioner injected it into the dermis which is very superficial and only a few millimeters in depth. You can’t massage the dermal injection of radiesse like you can if it were…

Radiesse works differently from the Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as the various Juvederm products. It can work very well, but its not reversible. Like the Juvederm products, Radiesse can also be significantly molded shortly after its placed in order to smooth it out but this needs to be done during the time of placement before you leave the office by the individual placing it. Once it is placed and settled over the course of several weeks it forms calcium like cystals in…

Ultherapy for neck, jowls and eyes? Or should I do lower bleph and neck lift?

Facial fillers and neck Ultherapy

The picture that you posted on the far left shows a little fullness under the left eye with some mild associated ‘Crow’s feet’. Frequently, the fullness that I see there can be much improved by correcting the crow’s feet with Botox. A couple drops of Botox into the lower line of that lower lid puffiness of the type that I see can frequently relax that muscle which can smooth out the lower lid bulge. In other words, in your case, unlike so many others, your problem with that…
