Bags under eyes after Belotero? (Photo)

Question

I had Belotero injections yesterday for tear trough. Initially it looked very full and smooth, but this morning I woke up to this (see photo). There are awful bags under my eyes now, worse on the right side. Is this a normal side effect, and will it go away? I'm terribly concerned….

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and photo. It is not unusual for swelling to develop following the injection of Belotero into the tear troughs. It will likely resolve in a few days. Let a week pass before judging the results. Good luck,

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

Swelling is definitely expected with any filler injection especially in that region. Best to leave it alone for a few weeks. If it doesn't resolve, the filler can be melted away.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

Swelling is common after tear trough injections and can last up to 2 weeks. If the problem persists after 2 weeks then you should follow up with your injector for an evaluation.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Wait 2-3 weeks for the swelling to subside before you make any decisions.Most probably, this is a technique related outcome.
Since you rae unhappy with the results, discuss with the injector for revision to optimize the cosmetic outcome.
