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: Lower eyelid surgery not a solution I would strongly advise against lower eyelid surgery being your solution to too much filler. This is far more invasive and can leave you with scars that you might not be anticipating as well as possible surgical complications. It would be better to have the area thoroughly assessed to ensure all the filler has been removed. You might consider a laser resurfacing procedure to help here instead which can help with tightening of the skin, once the filler has been dissolved adequately. I hope this is of help

Answer: No surgery for now try to dissolve filler Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your description and past experience, I do not recommend any surgery at the moment. You should consult with an expert and have all of your filler dissolved. It might take some time for swelling to go down and for the under eye area to be restored to its original appearance. In the future, you could consider a lower blepharoplasty to remove any excess skin and bags under your eyes. Also, if you have hollowing you are trying to correct, a fat transfer to the lower lids could be a good option for you. It is vital to consult and pick an expert in these procedures to ensure it is done correctly and safely. Please consult with a plastic surgeon and ask to see pictures of patients similar to you.

Answer: Lower eyelid filler complication Thank you for your photos and procedure description. My thoughts are as follows. Four syringes of anything into the eyes is too much. Period. Bellafill will not dissolve with Hyaluronidase as it is not a hyaluronic acid and due to the high incidence of potential injection complications following lower eyelid injections I would advise against the use of Bellafill in this area. Finally, your issue is the oribitomalar ligament and not hollowness alone in the nasojugal area. Seek out someone skilled in the anatomy of the lower eyelid and mid face and you can have the areas of concern to you corrected with filler injection to a reasonable degree.

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.
