How long does it take to see results after Belotero injections in the under-eye area? (Photos)

Question

I had belotero fillers placed two weeks ago. I have lines that I didn't have beforez. The skin looks discolored. different in certain lightening. I have asked my injector and she insist I need to give it more time. Is it normal for it to take this long to settle? I plan on visiting my injector to have the filler dissolved. But I wanted to get someone else's opinion about the treatment. I think she put too much to close to the surface. Should I have filler dissolved or wait?

It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with tear trough fillers. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase. Keep in mind, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement for under the eyes. I recommend fillers with lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

The results of Belotero are immediate. Perhaps, you're seeing the need for more dermal filler material. I suggest you speak with your injector about whether you need more volume to get an ideal result. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

It can take up to a month for filler around the under eyes to settle to see what it will really look like.  You could still be slightly bruised and swollen. If you aren't happy with the way it looks after an entire month after you've been injected, go back to your injector and have them give you professional opinion. Sometimes, you don't need to take it all out maybe just some of it. Tear troughs/under eye area is tough area to correct and swelling/bruising is common.  Make sure to be drinking lots of water to decrease as much swelling as possible. If you don't love it after a month, talk to your provider. Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry. Your results should be immediate. I would recommend waiting a few weeks and then reassess. You may just be reacting to the manipulation of the needle. Follow up with your injector and discuss your concerns. Best of luck

Hello,Belotero is an Hyaluronic Acid Filler.  Therefore we can use an enzyme (Hyaluronidase) to dissolve it.Filler correction after 2 weeks would be ideal time. Sometime I would try to add some volume in the cheek apples which would help and improve the look. Since the photo is not full face, it is not possible to determine that.I also like adding PRP to the treatment plan which would help in long term to improve skin discoloration, dark circle. and sunken tear trough.Hope the BestRay Bayati, MD Elite Medical AestheticsSacramento Area, California
