hi,
sorry to hear of what you are experiencing. here are a few points of clarification:
1. radiesse should not get hard. it does make skin underneath firmer but that is generally after multiple treatments in the same area. sounds more like swelling from the injection but of course you need to ask your physician that question.
2. radiesse is not dissolvable but fortunately it is temporary. it typically lasts 6 to 12 months.
3. i do not know if the droopy eyelid is contributing to your situation. it could but that is probably unrelated.
after you speak with your doctor, the one thing you might consider especially if you are several weeks out where there is less risk of moving the product is to consider targeted lymphatic massage to help with the changing swelling that you are experiencing. could be a lymphatic obstruction issue.
best,
sml
