I am a 28 year old female going to get Radiesse injected into my cheeks and nasolabial folds 2 months before my wedding. If I like the result I want to go with a more permanent filler such as Bellafill. I see it as why keep paying for filler every 6-9 months when you can have a filler for years? I hear you need to have a test before it is actually injected? (Removal process) besides surgery? Does it get clumpy? If so, can you just massage the clumps so they disappear? Docs please advise!! :)

Answer: Bellafill and Results Bellafill is injected differently than other fillers; less over time and then it builds collagen naturally. It is not an immediate fill like other fillers. Bellafill is more permanent than other fillers and thus it requires meticulous injection technique and someone skilled and experienced. Some physicians do not use this product for those reasons. I use a significant amount of this product and find it very useful and beneficial for patients. If you are unhappy with results, I suggest 5fu/steroid injections and venus legacy/viva treatments for improvement. Please see an expert if you are considering this filler. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Radiesse Bellafill ORRRRRR another Filler Prior To My Wedding Bapolo1987 Congratulations on your up coming wedding! Thank you for your question. Of course in an person consultation is necessary prior to making a decision on your best course of action. First and foremost more important than the chice of filler, is your choice of injector , especially with Bellafill! Bellafill is my favorite filler becauseOnly filler to be tested at 5 years and gets FDA approvalhas a very low side effect profile tested against other fillersbiostimulates----- creates collagenimproves skin toneis cost effectiveRadiesse is also a great filler for mid term results ( up to 18 months) and will provide nice results in the cheek area ( as Bellafil will too)BUT you are at a very vulnerable stage in your life and ,with my 20 plus years experience injecting, I would council you to go with a filler that is also time tested but shorter acting and even more important reversible, Juvederm or Voluma. Why? too many brides or mother's of the bride or even grooms get extremely emotional right prior to their weddings and IF on the small chance you were not happy with the look of the filler, you could have the potential to reverse it.BUT after the wedding then consider Bellafill!Best of Luck , Dr B
