Does Bellafill work for exercise enthusiasts?

Question

I am considering bellafill but wanted to know how being extremely active will play into the longevity of the product. I've done juvederm before and it appeared to be gone before I know it. So does bellafill work for exercise enthusiasts? Thanks in advance!

Bellafill is a semi-permanent filler with a host of complications that can be long-lasting. Our office specializes in filler complications, especially those related to Bellafill and Artefill, including granulomas, lumps, and soft tissue swelling. Surgery may be one option; whereas non-surgical soft-tissue lifting and intralesional injections may help reduce the visibility of these fillers.

fillers that stimulate collagen and last longer like bellafill, sculptra, radiesse and renuva all are "better" for longevity than HA fillers that tend to metabolize more quickly. Best, Dr. Emer.

Simply: YES
I have never had a patient with over 4,000 syringes over more than 7 years not create collagen.
Bellafill is a collagen stimulator. The filler is best to be injected immediately subcutaneously for maximum collagen synthesis.
Supra-periosteal, deep or bone injections does not create as much collagen production.
The amount of Bellafill to create a given response is different in different patients.
