Is Belotero Harder to Dissolve?

Question

Is Belotero crosslinked in a way that makes it harder to dissolve? I had superficial belotero dissolved yesterday under eyes and it doesn't seem to have deflated. How long does it take? Thanks.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Although I have used Belotero, I have never had to dissolve it with hyaluronidase.  I am not aware of any studies that have indicated that it would be more difficult to dissolve than any of the other hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Dissolving Belotero should take a few days, if no improvement, please follow up with your injector.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

Belotero spreads into the tissues instead of remaining a "lake" of product separate from the tissues so it may be that the Hyaluronidase didn't reach all the product. Give it a week then repeat the process if needed.

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after injections in the tear trough (under eyes). Swelling and bruising can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice and gently massage the area to help with the swelling. If you are unhappy with your results can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend contacting treating physician if you still have concerns.

Jeffrey W. Hall, MD · Answer

It is possible that it may take a few more days to dissolve, but you may also need to return to your doctor's office for an additional hyaluronidase treatment to further dissolve the product.
