Answer: Artefill Removal, Is it possible? Try 5fu/steroid Injections, RF venus legacy/exilis, viva/intensif microneedling, surgery I recommend seeing an expert who uses a significant amount of semi permanent and permanent fillers. Sometimes 5fu/steroid injections and RF treatments work to improve this area without any surgery needed. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: The Use Of Permanent Fillers Risks The Possibility Of Permanent Problems First, let me say how sorry I am that you are experiencing this problem. I would suggest returning to the treating physician to determine whether the problem truly relates to the permanent filler, and, if so, whether the problem might benefit from the injection of anti-inflammatory agents or whether it might have to even be removed surgically, if at all possible. The problem with the use of permanent fillers is that complications, should they occur, or even if the result is not entirely cosmetically acceptable, are not easily reversible and may be permanent.

Answer: Artefill (Bellafill) Removal: What are my options? Good Day. Thank you for your question.The first issue is to wait for at least 4-6 weeks after the injection for resolution of all possible swelling. A patient discussion regarding treatment options follows. If there is adjacent soft tissue volume loss, correction of this volume loss with a filler may resolve the concerned appearance.If there is no adjacent volume loss or no further filler is desired, than a nonsurgical approach with the injection of a steroid (triamcinolone or Kenalog) to the area of fullness is indicated. A repeat injection may be considered every 4-8 weeks. 5-FU can be injected alone or in combination with Kenalog as an alternative.If these do not resolve the abnormality then surgical therapy is the last and finite procedure. If the fullness is at the lower eyelid area, an incision can be performed inside the eyelid to completely hide the incision. Since no all injectors are surgeons, a facial plastic or oculoplastic surgeon may need to be consulted to avoid additional complications. Best of luck.
