I had bellafill chin augmentation. Immediately after the injection, I loved the result. However as the time went by, I see the result slowly disappearing. It completely disappeared 5 days after the initial injection. Is it because the main component of bellafill, collagen, is absorbed by the body? Do I need more belafill? Thanks!
Answer: Bellafill Thank you for your question. It is always helpful to see photos. In addition, you are less than a week out of bellafill, and the procedure's efficacy varies based on the patient and their unique health profile. I suggest that you review you post op recovery instructions with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Bellafill Results for Chin Augmentation--add sculptra and more bellafill You most likely had swelling which has since resolved. It can take several weeks to see results with Bellafill. You will need more than one treatment to get the final outcome as bellafill builds collagen over the long term. I often use it combined with sculptra to augment the chin and get great results. See an expert in facial sculpting. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Bellafill Dear patient, what you saw right after the procedure was swelling due to the injection process and the "Bovine Collagen" included in the Bellafill injection. It is unlikely that the Collagen portion is absorbed after only 5 days. It takes about 2-3 months for that part of Bellafill to get absorbed. I would need to see better before and after photos but agree with your assumption that more Bellafill is probably needed. I would still suggest that you wait 2-3 months for your own body' Collagen to build around the plastic beads before proceeding with more injections.

Answer: Effect of Bellafill gone after 5 days It is normal for the initial appearance after a Bellafill treatment to go away after a short period of time. The collagen that delivers the Bellafill product gets quickly absorbed and will cause the appearance to go back to normal. It then takes several weeks for the Bellafill to stimulate the tissues to produce gradual filling over time. Most people require more than one treatment session to obtain the desired result. I usually wait about 6-8 weeks between treatments.
