I had injections of Bellafill under my eyes eight months ago. I had major swelling that needed two rounds of prednisone. No swelling sinse but very unhappy with the end result. The lumps under my eyes are slightly visible creating more of a bag on my right side. I am afraid to get anything else injected, for example Kenalog , it seems everything has side effects. I am open to suggestions ,also wondering if this will ever just go away on its own.
Answer: Removing Bellafill from the face We are specialists in the removal of Artefill from the face and body. Inflammatory mediators can wreak havoc on permanent fillers, causing swelling and pain. Early removal is key. I would use SwellX to reduce swelling, if possible.

Answer: Bellafill for under eyes Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your pictures you appear to be a candidate for lower eyelid surgery also known as Blepharoplasty. You have lower eye bags that can be surgically removed for permanent correction to the area. In some patients injecting bellafill below the eyebag can help blend the area but not in all cases. Yes all procedures have risks that should be considered. Kenalog may help reduce any scar tissue that may have formed around the product but typically PMMA (20% of the bellafill product) is generally considered permanent and in some cases can be surgically removed. Based on your experience with Bellafill I would not recommend subsequent injections and if you are not interested in surgery, there are other temporary fillers that are very good.

Answer: Bellafil for eye bags ? Your picture shows lower eyelid eyebags that usually are treated with lower eyelid surgery called blepharoplasty. The use of Bellafil if done properly with a cannula and deep below the orbicularis muscles can hide the bags to a certain degree. My advise would be to consult an experienced surgeon to consider the blepharoplasty that can correct your concerns in a definitive and permanent way. I do not think the Bellafil will disappear but I think that your problem is not that.

Answer: Not happy with results of Bellafill around eyes, what should I do now? Bellafill is not my first choice for fillers around the eyes. I don't think that the Bellafill caused much difference but I can see the issue you are wanting to correct. The mid cheek volume wasn't addressed with the Bellafill. If concerned about the Bellafill, I would do an HA product in the medial cheek area and tear trough. Consider a blepharoplasty too, but you do need volume in this area. All procedures have risks. I use cannulas to minimize the risks in this area. Seek out a couple opinions before proceeding forward.
