During my consultation, the doctor told me Bella fill can only be performed from cheek down. According to the doctor, the skin are more delicated around eye area. But when I did my research on you tube, I saw many doctors are performing Bella fill around the eye area and and on forehead. If the outcome is not going to become out good, why is it other doctor do it on those areas?

Answer: Permanent filler The use of a permanent filler such as Bellafil has FDA approval only for nasolabial folds but as in many other cases this is an FDA restriction without evidence based studies or real world use. I have used this type of filler for any area in the face including under the eyes but it has to be performed adequately by an experienced surgeon. I think that it should be applied only with a cannula and deep to the orbicularis muscle to get good results. I have seen many cases of real problems caused by inexperienced operators using it inapproprately.

Answer: Bellafill for the forehead and tear trough - best to use other fillers The forehead and eye area are some of the more difficult areas to treat with fillers. I prefer to use diluted Defyne in the forehead because it integrates with the skin well and blends into the contours well. Bellafill can lead to nodules in areas of high movement such as the forehead. Around the eye, the same problem with excessive movement leads to more nodularity. Also, skin is thin in this are and injections must be perfect to not be obvious. Also, aging around the eye is progressive and its hard for a permanent filler to age appropriately in this area. I might use some judicious use of Bellafill deeply and then overlay HA on top of it. Keep in mind that HA filler lasts a long time in the tear trough and periocular area, several years in some.
