Bellafill dissolved by ADD medication/adderall?

Question

I have read quite a bit on Bellafill and interested in utilizing it for the collagen growth. I haven't decided exactly what procedure I will do but I was wondering if taking adderall would make the bellafill less effective because it speeds up my metabolism? I take about 90mg daily, as prescribed, to be more productive at work and don't see myself stoping the medication due fear of loss in productivity. I am caucausion, 35 year old male that is very active. Any advice would be great.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no evidence to suggest that taking Adderall would make Bellafill less effective in stimulating collagen growth. Bellafill works by injecting a biocompatible filler material made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres into the skin, which stimulates the growth of collagen around the microspheres. The metabolic rate of your body, including the effects of Adderall, should not impact the ability of Bellafill to stimulate collagen growth.

However, it is important to note that Bellafill may not be suitable for everyone. It is best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your individual situation and determine if Bellafill is appropriate for you. Additionally, it is important to discuss your use of Adderall with your healthcare professional as it can have potential side effects and interactions with other medications.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

I consider myself an expert in the removal of Bellafill and have found the PMMA to be resistant to most reversal agents. It is not likely that Adderall will affect the longterm results of the PMMA.

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.
