In June I had under eye fillers. She used four syringes of Bellafill and all I had was a little hollowness in my tear troughs. She injected it above my cheekbones and now I have a huge bag over each cheek bone. I went back to her and she dissolved it with hydrolinaise and used several syringes. Now my bags are even worse. I went back to her and she injected one syringe of Bellafill half on each eye and I'm still stuck with these awful bags. what should I do ?

Answer: Removing bellafil from under eyes? This is a difficult problem to evaluate without proper eye examination. The best treatment could be waiting vs camouflage filler (not bellafil) vs lower blepharoplasty with possible removal of some filler. Need personal consultation.

Answer: One syringe of bellafill on each side is unlike to cause all of this change. The critical question is how much hyaluronic acid filler have you had in this area? The Hyaluronic acid fillers persist for perhaps 5 to 8 years. After the first 12 months they typically just make generalize (unhelpful volume). If you have had 2 or more milliliters of hyaluronic acid filler under each eye over the past say 5 to 8 years, it could account for your current appearance. Most injectors simply lack the needed experience to properly dose this filler with hyaluronidase, the enzyme that breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler. You might need as much as 300 units of hyaluroidase on each side. It is improbable that your injector has dosed you with anything like this amount of enzyme. Have this done if you have a history of hyaluronic acid fillers before seriously considering eyelid surgery. Bellafill is a bummer of a filler and can cause some nasty lower eyelid changes and there is no simple surgery that will address your issues.
