My Bellafill PMMA filler results disappeared in a week. I got 9 syringes on my jaw. 4.5ml on each side.When injected the difference was HUGE. The next day I was very swollen. On day 4 doctor gave me a mask to control edema. After the swelling was gone, so were the results. Like I had nothing done. Product concentration was 30%, so 70% of it was the vehicle, which is absorbed and then replaced with my own collagen. I have read that the vehicle is 100% absorbed in 4 days in some articles, but then here many doctors say it takes "months" for it to happen. What happened?
Answer: Expertise in the management of silicone and Bellafill complications Bellafill and Artefill are known to cause granulomas. Although used for soft tissue augmentation, they can, and are known to cause permanent nodules and swelling. This is not the case for everyone.

Answer: Need to come in to consult 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.

Answer: Bellafill results gone after 1 week When a Bellafill treatment is done, there normally is some immediate improvement, but this improvement does go away. It can take just a week or so for this to occur, but sometimes it may take a bit longer. Bellafill is about 20% PMMA and about 80% collagen. The collagen portion will absorb completely. The PMMA that remains will stimulate the tissue to build up, but this will take several weeks. I would recommend waiting at least 8 weeks to see what your results are. It is possible that you may need further treatment to obtain your desired results. Also, each syringe of Bellafill is 0.8cc, so if you had 9 syringes split evenly between both sides of your jaw you would have had 3.6cc on each side.

Answer: Bellafill I would urge you to be patient with this product. I have had great success with it in our patients but it can take quite a long time to see the full benefits. Although many doctors say that it takes 3-4 months to see your best results, I would argue it can take much longer. I have seen patients not see their peak result until about 6-9 months out from the treatment. It does work very well...just wait.
