Answer: Expertise in the management of silicone and Bellafill complications Bellafill and Artefill are known to cause granulomas. Although used for soft tissue augmentation, they can, and are known to cause permanent nodules and swelling. This is not the case for everyone. My office specializes in the removal of Bellafill and Artefill injections, in addition to silicone biopolymers, from the face and body. Initially, treatments are non-surgical with corticosteroids and immune modulators. If unable to be corrected, we can also perform surgery in some cases. Lastly, our office is conducting ongoing studies of plasma-assisted corticosteroid application, which allows for diffusion of the treatment medication in superficial tissue without causing atrophy.

Answer: Discomfort and pain after Bellafill There should be some mild pain after the procedure for a few days. If severe, it needs to be evaluated. OTC pain medications should cover the pain. Rarely, a nerve is injured during injection and that takes a while to recover.
