HELP! I had Botox on my forehead but the lines were still visible so I had Bolotero filler injected 6 weeks later. This was three weeks ago and my forehead is still so bumpy. I have an appointment at the clinic tomorrow morning and I'm hoping for some advice on what the best course of action should be based on how my forehead looks just now.
Answer: Belotero in forehead wrinkles Using fillers in the forehead and lines around the brow can be very tricky to do properly. Botox really is the best answer for the problem in this situation, so smart and precise use of Botox should be maximized first.Based on your photos it does seem that there is an obvious ridge or line where the filler was placed. Thin fillers like Restylane Silk and Belotero diffuse into the surrounding skin very well, but since this has persisted 3 weeks in your case I would most likely suggest that you consider hyaluronidase injections to dissolve the filler then reassess after a week or two to see if you feel that trying filler once again in that same spot would be worth it.

Answer: Belotero on forehead You can massage the area (use some lotion for glide). It should gradually go down. I'd give it another couple of weeks to settle in.Best, Lisa Vuich, MD

Answer: Belotero, Restylane and Juvederm fillers GlasgowAt 3 weeks there should not be lines from the injection of a soft product like Belotero. Return to the physician who injected for dissolution with hyaluronidase. BestH Karamanoukian MD FACS

Answer: Lines after Belotero Hello, and thanks for your question and photos. Sorry to hear you did not get a result you were pleased with. It looks to me as though too much Belotero was injection, and/or it was not properly massaged into place. It is possible that these lines can be improved with massage, but if not I recommend having the product dissolved by injection of a medication called Hylenex. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
