When does Bellafill reach maximum results?

Question

I had Bellafill over a year ago. I loved the results at the 6-7 month mark. Around the 8th month, I got more juvederm in my cheeks + masseter botox. It’s been 6 months since those additional treatments. Around that time I noticed my cheeks getting larger still. It may be because the botox skimmed my jaw & the additional juvederm added, but I am just wanting reassurance that my bellafill would not have/be continuing to grow because it looks chipmunky now.

It is not uncommon for us to see patients with Bellafill nodules after injection by other doctors. Bellafill can create longterm collagenesis and granuloma/fibrosis formation. If that occurs, I would suggest a consultation in our clinic to discuss surgical or intralesional injection options.

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.

Bellafill, a dermal filler, is designed to provide both immediate and long-lasting results. While you may see some immediate improvement in volume and smoothing of wrinkles after treatment, its maximum results are typically achieved over several months. This is because Bellafill contains tiny polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres that stimulate collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in skin texture and volume. Full results are usually evident around 3 to 6 months after the initial injection, and they can last for up to five years or more. It’s essential to consult with a skilled injector who can provide personalized guidance on your specific treatment.
