I have had 3 syringes of Bellafill over a 4 month period and a Subcision prior to the last syringe.When I compare now with my initial photos, there is neglible difference and worse in a couple areas 2 areas that look filled outside the scars! Every txmt has been the same. Initial filling/swelling where my face looks virtually scar free then exactly 5 days later, the swelling is gone and scars are back. Heartbroken. after spending 3k. Now consulting with a new doc for Bellafill. Any suggestions?
Answer: Possible Removal of Bellafill Filler migration and granuloma formation can cause longterm problems with Bellafill and Artefill fillers. This is similar in patients who have Artecoll and PMMA fillers. Longterm filler complications include migration, edema, chronic swelling, and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes, corticosteroids, and scar tissue modulators. Our HIDEF approach can break down filler scarring and granulomas so that they are less apparent. If the filler material itself does not dissolve, it either means the filler is likely not HA material or is unresponsive to conservative therapy. This technique may be followed by surgical removal of the filler if there is a suitable target for removal and the chance of scarring is low.

Answer: Acne Scarring -- Requires a Combination of Fractional Laser Resurfacing, Fillers Like Bellafill, Subcision and Eclipse Micropen you really need a combination approach of fillers, lasers, and subcision aggressively. I suggest you see a dermatologist with experience in scarring and lasers. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: No results after Bellafill I would discuss with your injector. It might get better over the next few months. I'd wait. If you smoke, have unhealthy skin, a debilitating medical condition, you won't produce much collagen and Bellafillis not for you. If you don't fall into those categories, just add more in about 3-4 months.
