Bellafill versus Silikon 1000 for nasolabial folds: seeking a permanent solution, any suggestions?

Asked By:eyerhino in NYC

Hyaluronic acid is great but is short term. Bellafill (FDA approved) has 20% PMMA (akin to plexiglass or bone cement) and it will stay in your body forever. If I keep on getting Bellafill for my nasolabial folds, will that have a permanent effect on reducing appearance of those folds? Alternative is Silikon 1000, but is controversial. It may never receive FDA approval. Can cause granuloma. Some say it is safe, using microdroplet technique. What are your thoughts on Bellafill & Silikon 1000?
