Is it product or swelling under my eyes? Belotero (Photos)

Question

I got belotero. I got bruised immediately. But the result was pretty good. Later I noticed lumps and bumps. I massaged. Looked better.. next morning was really bad! Like two worms under my skin.then I massaged gently. All was gone! I had redness and bruised but puffiness was gone. so Was there a product!? Or swelling which I massaged? the next morning some puffiness appeared.. so it's too much product or swelling? Does belotero have immediately result or it settles in a time? Thanks

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Hyaluronic acid fillers like Belotero are hydrophilic and this should be anticipated when placing the appropriate amount under the eyes. It can be reversed even months after placement.Best

It usually takes about 2 weeks to settle after belotero. If you have any concerns at that point, I would recommend following up with your provider.

Alexander Blinski, MD · Answer

It's very important to understand that belotero and tear trough injections take a week to settle in at least. I think it is too early to tell, your results look good so far and normal. I would schedule a follow up with your injector if you are not happier in a week. You can always contact them and see if there is anything they recommend for the swelling to bring it down faster: ice, ibuprofen, steroids.

Looks like you will have a nice result when everything is healed, just too early to tell

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

It is too early to determine whether what whether what you experiencing is filler or swelling. Having some swelling after injection is very common. Please allow 2 weeks for all swelling to subside and to see your final results. Contact your treating physician if you still have any concerns after 2 weeks.
