What are my options 7 months after Bellafill procedure is causing inflamed reaction in tear trough area? (photos)

December 14, 2015
Asked By:Belvedere26 in Atlanta, GA

7 months ago I received Bellafill via cannula in the tear trough area which has has been disastrous. The collagen is gone so it looks like my body is rejecting this product. Only oral steroids keep the inflamed area in check. Since this product is most likely already spread in the tissue, excision seems futile? I am in desperate need of sound advice and/or second opinion here in Atlanta area. No allergy test was done beforehand (afterwards yes and was OK). IN DESPERATE NEED OF EXPERT ADVICE
