5 Days Post Belotero - is This Normal? (photo)

Hi Z.  Based on how you appear, we believe that the Belotero was injected superfically (above the muscle that surrounds the eye).  We also tried this with one patient and it did not work out well.  The manufacturer was telling us that the superficial placement could work well (Restylane and Juvederm are placed deeper) but it did not.  

You may have residual lumps and bruising.  We use Vitrase to dissolve the product in these situations and you can ask your injector about it.  We also use our q-switched lasers to get rid of the staining appearance from the bruising.  Hope this helps.

The appearance that you currently have 5 days after your Belotero injection under your eyes will most likely still change.  The uncertainty is in how much it will change.  I would recommend waiting perhaps a week more for the swelling from your injection to completely resolve and then see how it looks.  If you still feel that you have some ridges, you should return to your injector and you can have a medicine called Hyaluronidase injected to help with the ridges.
