It's hard to answer this without a time-frame. Bellafill, like other facial fillers, can cause lumps that eventually resolve. Massage, 5fu/steroid injections and venus legacy treatments can help soften the lumps. Best, Dr. Emer.
This is hard to answer with the information given. I don't know the time frame or if the lumps are tender, red, or just palpable. Most nodules are related to clumping of the product and are injector related. If they are noticeable, the can be injected with steroids/5FU sometimes with improvement. If this doesn't help, excision can be done. It is very important to use a very experienced injector for this.
Lumps that can be felt after an injection of any filler, including Bellafill, are not uncommon. These lumps are usually little areas of blood accumulation or swelling from the injury of the injection. If they last past two to three weeks, the lumps are usually some scar formation, this is especially true with Bellafill because of the collagen in Bellafill mixing with blood. These scar lumps almost always go away on their own. Massage will help them dissipate if they form. Lumps that remain after 3 months and can be seen can be treated. A series of 3 to 4 injections of kenalog mixed with 5FU about 1 month apart will almost always settle them down.I hope that helps.Best regards.
Yes, it can help. In addition to 5fu injections, I recommend starting fraxel/venus legacy treatments. I recommend seeing an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for the question. As others have pointed out, the placement of the Bellafill will make it very unlikely that the product would be affected by the heat from an RF treatment (e.g., Infini). Bellafill is placed deep in the skin, while the Infini treatment is generally in the area of 2.5...
There is no effect on filler with sleep in my opinion especially if the filler was injected properly. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hi and thank you for your question! Yes, Bellafill can be injected in the temple area and it can be helpful to lift up the eyebrows and eyelids. However, this is a very delicate area with high vascular density and the injection needs to be done by an experienced physician who has done many...

Thank you for your question. Stroke is not a side effect of Bellafill or any facial fillers. Bellafill has rare side effects that may include redness, itching, bruising, pain/soreness, swelling and tenderness. I suggest that you move forward by next consulting in person with a board certified...
