Is it normal to have bumps on forehead 3 weeks after Belotero filler has been injected? (photos)

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.

Massage may help decrease the size of the bumps, but if you are unhappy reverse with hyaluronidase. Best, Dr. Emer

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

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.   

Belotero is a very light hyaluronic based filler. It is placed very superficially in fine lines.  Usually it will smooth out on its own.  In your case, it did not smooth out. Your physician can massage it and often smooth the lumps and bumps away.  If that does not work, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase of hylenex.
