When considering whether to add more Bellafill or have it removed, it's important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and aesthetic goals. Here are a few factors to consider:

Current Satisfaction: Evaluate your current satisfaction with the results. If you are unhappy with the appearance, consider discussing with a specialist whether adjustments can be made with additional filler or if removal is a better option.

Desired Outcome: Clearly define what you hope to achieve. If you are looking to enhance volume or smoothness further, adding more filler might be appropriate. If you are experiencing lumps, asymmetry, or any other issues, removal could be considered.

Time Since Injection: Bellafill is a long-lasting filler, so if it's been a short time since your initial treatment, it might be worthwhile to wait a bit longer to see if the results settle into what you desire.

Consultation with a Specialist: Schedule a consultation with an experienced professional who can assess your current condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the best course of action. They can also discuss the potential risks and benefits of either adding more or removing Bellafill.

Ultimately, a personalized consultation will provide the most accurate guidance for your situation.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove Bellafill. Sometimes needling the area can help but it should be done by someone skilled and experienced in the use of Bellafill. I would not recommend adding more Bellafill to that area. You can soften the edges with a Hyaluronic acid filler that can be adjusted if you don't like the result. 
In general, I prefer to use Bellafill for deeper areas that are less mobile. Skin and facial volume changes over time . Using a deeper injection helps to avoid visible filler placement. 
If you were to visit my office, I would try some gentle needling first. Then wait a month and have you return for evaluation to consider further needling or Hyaluronic acid filler placement
