I had one syringe of bellafill placed in each tear trough 9 months ago. Everything looked good until about 6 weeks ago. I literally woke up one morning with a hard bone like lump on top of my bone under the one eye, then a small one developed under the othe eye 2 weeks later.oral steroids didn’t help. I was in a car accident and sustained a concussion 4 weeks prior to getting this lump. Could it possibly be from trauma of some sort?i feel deformed and helpless, and just want these lumps gone!

Answer: Bellafill with hard spot in 9 months It is disconcerting to have a bump in the treatment area wherever the injection might have been. I suggest you go back to the place you had your injection for an examination and to anwer more questions. It would be important to note when the bump first appeared,and if you have massaged or done any other thing to it. Most lumps or bumps become smaller over a period of time, but that is not always so. You may have some fibrous or scar tissue at the site.

Answer: Nodules and immogenic reaction of fillers- BELLAFILL If its bilateral it suggest an general immunologic reaction. I do not have any problems with non- Specialist injecting, however they do have the absolute responsibility for management of complications. Now, every specialist is different. I look for cross antigens first, usual MSU, history , ASOT etc.. For this type of reaction, sometimes systemic triple therapy can be trialled along with local ILCS injections, 5FU etc.. Reports of diode fibre optic laser used to break down filler. RF insulated cannula devices are novel, and may work. Excision and drainage last option. Take care, and be conservative in your approach.
