Are there any contraindications to performing Facetite/Accutite or Morpheus 8 over a face that has had Bellafill?

Question

Placement in the cheeks and eyes

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

My concern would not be from the actual waves passing through the skin as much as from the very fact there would be physical manipulation of the skin during any of these treatments. Permanent fillers of all kinds retain the potential for the develop of adverse reactions, such nodules and granulomas, that may occur soon after treatment or as many as five, ten or twenty or more years later, usually following some kind of manipulation of the skin, such as trauma or manipulation of the skin in the course of dental work, etc. It would be wise to fully discuss this issue with the treating physician. It is one of the major reasons that, despite the allure of permanent fillers, I have long since given up injecting them. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I would not see any problem with having Morpheus8 treatment over an area of the face that had previously been treated with Bellafill.  The Bellafill should be deeper than the depth of the Morpheus8, so there should be no interaction.  It is possible that FaceTite or AccuTite could encounter areas of previous Bellafill treatment but in my opinion, the treatment could still be done.  It is possible that the FaceTite or AccuTite could not easily pass through some of the areas treated with Bellafill, and if this occurred, the treatment would need to be done around these areas instead of through them.
