How many syringes of Bellafill does it typically take to fill under the eyes to resolve hollow look in the tear trough area?

Bellafill
can be an excellent choice for filling lower eyelid volume loss and tear
troughs. On average, it takes about one half
syringe per side to correct a lower lid tear trough problem. If there is associated volume loss of the
area can be more. I have used as much as
2.5 syringes per side on occasion.
Remember that a syringe of Bellafill has 0.8 ml in it.



Be very
careful as to who is injecting it since there is very little room for error
with this filler. Under the eye there is
an increased risk for lumps but these seem to settle for most patients in
time. Occasionally we need to inject a
little steroid into the lump to settle it just like we would with any heavy
thick scar which is what the lump usually is.
In order to reduce the risk for these issues the injector should use a micro
cannula and “airbrush” the filler in place to get a more accurate result with
less trauma.



Bellafill
under the eyes is one of the areas that can give patients the most dramatic and
pleasing results. I have added a link to
some before and after photos for you.



I hope
that helps



Best
regards.
