Can right sided facial twitching (next to mouth only) be a side effect of tear trough Belotero injections ?

joeyzoompAug 6, 2016
I had Belotero injections in my tear trough 5 days ago, and the results thus far are astounding! I went to a renowned Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon, and am very pleased with the results already. I have a bruise under my left eye which is fading, and some swelling in the upper lids which is subsiding daily (we did upper and lower lids). Yesterday I began w/ right sided twitching next to mouth, esp. when drinking or eating - could this be nerve related? Is this a possible side effect?

Hello, and thanks for your question. I'm sorry you did not get the result you had hoped for. It looks to me like your right tear trough was overfilled. You could have the filler dissolved with injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase. I recommend following up with the dermatologist who did ...

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...
