First time I objected bellafill was 2 months ago on the two side of my face and on my chin area, and I injected again 10 days ago.But I noticed that I was overfilled especially the left side. I don’t look the same at all. I am very worried if it will last like that, the second time the doctors did the cheek bone area to balance but I think 5 syringes in totall is too much any ideas?

Answer: Overfilling with Bellafill Unfortunately as with any filler you can inject too much. The nice thing is that it will go down. Give it a month or so and the reassess your face. If one cheek seems to be a lot bigger well consider adding a little to the other cheek. The main thing for now is just to give it time for it to settle down and give you that natural look that most patients get. The only time I have encountered anyone with this problem was when they just had it done and were still a little swollen after the procedure. Be patient for now.

Answer: HIDEF Bellafill removal 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Bellafill overfill Thank you for your question. I would suggest following up with your injector. In our practice, we usually start off with a very conservative amount of filler in order to avoid overfilling. It is possible you received too much product.

Answer: Asymmetry after Bellafill injections in cheeks I do see that the NLF is much deeper on the left side versus the right. I'm wondering if this was something you had before. Often our faces are not the same side to side and we only notice this after fillers are injected because we are looking more closely at our faces. I would bring this to your injectors attention. My experience tells me that the result seen in the first weeks is more than the final results seen 4-6 months after injection. It is probably best to wait to see what result you have, prior to being concerned or adding more filler. At present, there is bovine collagen that needs to be degraded and your own collagen hasn't yet kicked in.

Answer: Bellafill Hello! Since you are only 10 days out of Bellafill it is hard to say by your pictures if it’s swelling still. I would recommend you schedule an appointment with your injector for a follow up! Best of luck!
