Dear Dr. Seckel, I did so much research and made a bad decision I thought I was informed but what I needed to do was just leave my face alone and use topicals. I lost a lot of weight and had Radiesse injected in my nasal folds the doctor over corrected a bit and 6 months later I had it done again to correct the over fill. Well my right cheek is where the over fill was and I don’t know what the hell happened but he injected under the skin orally and somehow it seems as though the Radiesse migrated or moved up under my eye and caused a ridge a bump of sorts and it is ugly I hate it and I tried to massage it but because its under the eye it’s gets sore swells and then just looks the same I’m trying to have much patience. But to me it looks deformed in certain light. I’m blessed I’m alive things could be worse. But question is I heard if you have MINIMAL treatment with cortisone to the lump MININMAL with massage it can reduce the lump….it’s fairly small but cause an unbalance. What do you suggest? I’m tormented? I don’t’ want to do anything to cause a hole under my eye I hear sometimes when you inject steroids cortisone it can cause shallow spots maybe used in large doses over periods of time I’m interested in using this as a minimal one time treatment. These were two different doctors and I’m considering only a dermatologist please advise, thank you, Sherri, Oakland, CA
