This was done 44 hours ago. The under eye swelling has gotten worse not better since procedure. Bruising is worse. I feel botched. And was initially told swelling was minimal and would be gone by now. I start a new job in 4 days!
Answer: Possible bellafill removal Filler migration and granuloma formation can cause longterm problems with Bellafill and Artefill fillers. This is similar in patients who have Artecoll and PMMA fillers. Longterm filler complications include migration, edema, chronic swelling, and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes, corticosteroids, and scar tissue modulators. Our HIDEF approach can break down filler scarring and granulomas so that they are less apparent. If the filler material itself does not dissolve, it either means the filler is likely not HA material or is unresponsive to conservative therapy. This technique may be followed by surgical removal of the filler if there is a suitable target for removal and the chance of scarring is low.

Answer: Bellafill under and around eyes, 48 hours later, swelling has gotten worse. Is this normal? Yes, swelling tends to get worse post procedure day 2-3. In fact, my own nurse experienced swelling 2 weeks after bellafill injection to the undereye area. The swelling resolves with time (it took 2 weeks for my nurse's swelling to resolve). However, if you are really worried, you can see your doctor and ask about a steroid dose pack to quickly help reduce the swelling. Good luck!

Answer: Brusing and swelling after Bellafill injections in the tear trough area Hello, thank you for your question and pictures. Bruising and swelling is normal after filler injections. The tear trough area is particularly worse for this. Can last up to 2 weeks. You can try applying cold packs, sleeping with your head elevated and take an anti-histamine. Always best to follow up with your injector for an in person assessment. Hope it resolves soon for you. Dr. Solomon

Answer: Swelling following Belafill Hi and thank you for your question! Swelling is very common following any filler injections, particularly in under the eyes area and it can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to fully go away. On another note, while Bellafill is an excellent filler, for future treatments I highly recommend that you use hyaluronic acid fillers such as Belotero, Restylane or Volbella for around the eyes and leave Bellafill for other areas such as around the mouth. I hope it helps and good luck!
