Should I see Bellafill results immediately as I've heard, or after months like my injector tells me?

It's hard to comment without seeing where you were injected and how much product was injected.   Having said that, most people will see immediate results, not necessarily from the microspheres because it takes time for collagen to form around the spheres, but from the collagen itself that carries the spheres.  I recommend keeping your follow up appointments with your injector.  You may in fact need more product depending on your goals and expectations.

BellaFill uses bovine collagen which will provide you with an immediate result and should last around 3-4 months.  There is a low point in which the collagen has been absorbed and your own collagen production is occurring.  If you are not seeing the results desired it is probably due to a lack of filler, most aging patients will need more than one kit (5 Syringes) of BellaFill.  

Bellafill and Sculptra are both stimulating agents that require multiple treatment sessions to obtain gradual results over time.  There is some immediate fill from both agents, but this is fairly short lasting.  The long term filling gradually occurs over time and can take a month or two to reach the full effect.  

Thank you for your question Christine. Bellafill results are seen immediately in most patients. It may take some patients up to three months to reach optimal results. If after the three month mark you still see no improvement return to your injecting Dr. for a follow up. 

With bellafill, what you see is what you get so if you dont see a result you probably need more.  sculptra can take months to see final results.
