What do you recommend to fix Bellafill marks on face under eyes? (Photos)

Question

3 years ago I had Bellafill injected (1 syringe) under my eyes and in tear troughs for volume loss under eyes. It took 1 year for the lines to finally fade to look natural. I still have noticeable marks when I smile and uneven fullness under eyes.

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.

Hi and thank you for your question! For this and other reasons we generally do not recommend Bellafill for under the eyes. At this time, we can try to reduce Bellafill by injection of steroid or 5FU. Another option is to attempt making some correction under the eyes using hyaluronic acid fillers such as Belotero, Restylane or Volbella to conceal the results of Bellafill. In either case, it is important that you work with a highly experienced physician. I hope it helps and good luck!

Swelling and lumps can occur with Bellafill. I would assess your candidacy for removal from the eyelids based on your severity classfication using the Karamanoukian Grading system for soft tissue reaction. I have removed it from this area in the past.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Hello LMD31,
I would suggest a very diluted, gradual injection series of Triamcinolone to the specific area only.

It is hard for me to fully appreciate the problem with the Bellafill you are describing. I would seek out a Plastic Surgeon or Oculoplastic Surgeon to evaluate this. You just might need more filler around the eyes to balance this out. Minor surgery can be done if it needs to be removed.
