Can Bellafill be used to tighten the neck? (Photo)

Question

A Bellafill injector has stated that 5 syringes of Bellafill on each side of my neck can tighten the skin. What results can I expect? Thanks

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You really are a surgical candidate and need combination therapy with skin tightening like ultherapy/thermage and lasers like co2 or fraxel.  fillers like bellafill will not tighten the skin and in this area can cause complications. Best, Dr. Emer.

Using a filler to "tighten" neck skin is unorthodox.  This would be best accomplished with a neck lift procedure where excess skin is removed.

Steven Swengel, MD · Answer

Using Bellafill for neck tightening is beyond off label use.  I have used it for almost 10 years and would never recommend placement in the soft tissues of the neck.  There are better treatments to look into such as Ultherapy, Infini and a traditional neck lift.  From your one picture it appears you may be ready for a surgical lift.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I would be skeptical of this. Neck tightening is done using either surgery, Ulthera, or RF (Infini). I'm an experienced user and trainer of Bellafill. You should see what pictures this doc has for this procedure before spending the money for this.

Brian Windle, MD (retired) · Answer

It is interesting what some injectors are promoting.  There is certainly no scientific evidence
that would support a claim that a filler in the jaw would support a neck
lift.  If you look at the video I have
added you will see how little is actually in a syringe.  This small amount could not hold up or
support the tissue of the neck.

I hope that helps

Best regards.
