Could my face veins be caused by filler? (Photo)

Question

I'm 50 and had Bellafill twice in the last 5 years. Absolutely love it. I have 12 vials total with Versa under eye and I'm seeing these horrible veins in my face. Could filler be the reason?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, Unfortunately this filler cannot be dissolved with Vitrase / hyaluronidase. A combination of fractional laser or radiofrequency, Venus Legacy treatments, and 5FU/steroid injections could help with the lump. Otherwise, aside from waiting to see if it goes away, the only other permanent option is surgical removal. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is difficult to say if the filler is the cause of your vein formation.  Under eye veins cans have many causes and, certainly, aging and genetics are prominent factors.  I have seen many patients with filers over the years and very few have veins as a result of a filler.
