Can Bellafil be used on the forehead and between the eyes?

Bellafill is an extraordinary filler.  It can be used virtually anywhere on the face and body with the exception of the lips.  And yes, I have successfully treated many patients at the forehead and between the eyes with Bellafill. 

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.

Bellafill was FDA approved for smile lines and acne scarring. Bellafill is meant for a subdermal injection not dermal. There are better ways to treat lines of the forehead. Botox works very well for this. If a filler is used my suggestion is to use one which is hyaluronic acid based such as one of the Restylane or Juvederm products. The frown  lines are also treated  best with Botox, however, even after Botox some people still have shadowing in this area. If Bellafill is used in this area my suggestion is subdermal placement and of course skin testing 4 weeks prior to the injection.

Filler will not add a lot of volume to your brow or forehead if you are seeking to fill out your forehead. The forehead is a very large area .Brow lifts or forehead lifts will help to lift sagging brows, improve the look of your upper eyelids and help to smooth out a wrinkled brow or forehead with a lot of deep lines. Bella fill is not a good choice for this area. It will more than likely cause nodules there. I would recommend filler like Juvederm there.

I hope that helps.

Good Day. Thank you for you question.Any filler, including Bellafill can be used in these areas. The health professional needs to confirm the goal of treatment.If volume replacement is the goal, then Bellafill is an option. I rarely place filler in the forehead, occasionally along deep horizontal furrows. The temporal fossa is a common anatomical site where I inject. The area between the eyes (glabellar area) and the nose are the facial anatomical areas with the highest risk of blindness due to the filler traveling into blood vessels. This risk I always present to the patient.Minimizing the risk of blindness is by initial injecting lidocaine with epinephrine to allow the blood vessels to shrink in diameter (vasoconstrictor). Next, using a microcannula (25 gauge) in the avascular plane immediately above the cartilage and bone of the nose or the plane immediately above the covering of the bone (periosteum) in the glabellar area with minimal injection pressure after the application of ice for further vasoconstriction.Often skin resurfacing of the forehead by lasers or RF yields an excellent cosmetic improvement compared to attempting volume replacement to the forehead.

This is an interesting question as many physicians would
advise against injecting these areas with any filler. This is largely because of the danger of inadvertently
injecting the filler into a blood vessel and potentially causing
blindness. That said, Bellafill can be
injected there and some great results can be achieved with the benefit of the
Bellafill building your own tissue and that result being very long lasting. I have a number of patients who have been
treated with Bellafill in these areas. I
have added a web reference to the before and after results on one patient.

You should be aware that there are safety concerns with any
filler in this area so make sure you see someone who uses a micro-cannula to
inject and who has extensive experience injecting this area. I have added a video about safety of fillers
for you.I hope that helps.Best regards.
