..... very disappointed.... what bothered me most were the lines on my lower face did not change at all... I have no photos since they were uselessWhat should I have used .. I have also had 3 treatments with skin pen but no noticeable results. The only thing I have liked was the botox but it does not last a long time
Answer: No results on lines of face with Bellafill Lines on the face are usually fairly superficial and sometimes fillers will not always help with them. Fillers are usually more beneficial with adding volume to deeper layers of the face. Frequently, a laser resurfacing procedure can be more helpful in improving lines on the face.

Answer: Disappointed with Bellafill results After 2 years, you should be at your final result from Bellafill. I would discuss this with your provider and compare before and after photos. I don't know how many syringes were used but often many syringes are needed to correct volume. There are some physicians that have injected 50 or more syringes in some patients who have amazing results. Another option is using fat grafting which can be injected in large volumes with long-term results.

Answer: Bellafill If the doctor does not explain about Bellafill the patient will be disappointed. The majority of the syringe is collagen, which lasts 2 months. Only a small amount is the beads that are long lasting and get covered in scar tissue. Therefore it is costly for the smaller amount that lasts longer.Also it must be injected very carefully, otherwise permanent lumps can occur.I saw two patients today that were injected by a non expert, one who got no results and the other who got lumps. Both were injected in areas I would not recommend Bellafill to be used.Seek an expert injector, someone who is trained in plastic surgery, not someone who calls themselves a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. Find out what board they are certified , and check them out thoroughly.

Answer: Facial rejuvenation There are a few things that can be done to give a much longer lasting results. Especially considering the amount of money you spent, I think that fat grafting would give you a much more cost effective and reliable results. The fat actually does two things one it initially gives you volume and the cells themselves help to improve the quality of skin overtime. I have patients that come back year after year saying they seem to have better skin two to five years after fat grafting that in the very first year. I would have consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon's in your area who do a lot of fat grafting. I think you will find the results long-lasting and satisfying.Good luck!
