What are the best options for removal of Bellafill from face and for improving overall appearance? (Photo)

Bellafill can be surgically removed from the face. In your case, you may also consider reducing Bellafill granulomas and fibrosis with intralesional injections. We do this a lot in my office.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Unfortunately, this story is not uncommon. Many people are understandably enticed by the word "permanent" when it comes to fillers thinking that there results would last a lifetime. Instead what can happen all too often is that the permanent foreign body filler's negative results, such as nodules, granulomas and fibrosis that may form immediately after treatment or even five, ten or twenty+ years later, can persist indefinitely (while the rest of the skin and tissues in the surrounding areas continue to age). So, the double shock of continued aging along with persistent permanent filler problems. It should be remembered that permanent fillers are foreign bodies injected in the skin that cannot be easily or completely removed, even by surgery. Fortunately, I have had success in treating many patients with this issue using an algorithm of varying combinations, concentrations and amounts of intralesional anti-inflammatory injections. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
