Is it safe to receive a fat transfer to areas of my face that have been treated with Bellafill?

Question

Will there be any side effects?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Regarding your question, it's important to consult with a qualified professional to determine if it is safe to receive a fat transfer to areas of your face that have been treated with Bellafill.
Bellafill is a dermal filler that is used to treat deep wrinkles and acne scars. It contains a combination of bovine collagen and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres, which work to provide long-lasting volume and support to the skin. While Bellafill is safe and effective for most patients, it's important to know if it's safe to combine it with other treatments, such as fat transfer.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, involves harvesting fat from one area of the body and injecting it into another area to restore volume and improve the contour of the face. While fat transfer is generally safe, it's important to be aware of potential complications that can arise when combining it with other treatments.
When considering a fat transfer to areas of your face that have been treated with Bellafill, it's important to discuss your treatment history with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your skin and the areas of concern, and determine if it's safe to combine the two treatments. In some cases, it may be recommended to wait until the Bellafill has fully settled and your own collagen has been made before undergoing a fat transfer procedure.
In summary, while Bellafill and fat transfer are both safe and effective treatments for restoring volume and improving the appearance of the face, it's important to consult with a qualified physician before combining the two treatments. We are national leaders of bellafill and use some of the most in the nation. We do so carefully and strategically and can help evaluate your individual needs and goals, and recommend the best course of action to help you achieve the results you desire while ensuring your safety and well-being.
