How long until kenalog helps overfilled Bellafill? And more kenalog questions

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve complications associated with Bellafill, a filler with permanent attributes that can cause granulomas, uneven contour, and soft tissue reaction. Our office focuses on granuloma reversal in cases where an incision may leave permanent scars. The reversal is performed with Kenalog IIT combination therapy, fibrous release, and HIDEF fractional RF to help break up the nodularity. Schedule a consultation for surgical removal if the Bellafill is located in the eyelids, lips, and lower face. Midface Bellafill is difficult to surgically remove.

Kenalog can break up collagen deposits. It is used to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars..Bellafill causes collagen deposition around the beads.. It could take a month or so to see the full effect of one kenalog injection so in order to not dissolve too much collagen it is wise to wait at least a month between treatments. I dont know of any studies or reviews on collagen injections for bellafill overtreatment.
