Larger nose and much worse wrinkles with Bellafill, CO2 and upper blepharoplasty? (Photos)

R
RoxygruczNov 15, 2017

One year ago I had an upper eyelid blephroplasty, CO2 on face/neck and in June and August 2017 Bellafill injected in nasal folds, tear troughs and chin area. Now my nose looks crooked, much longer/larger and bulb is bigger. Rings on neck are worse. Wrinkles in orbit area are much worse. Eyelids are always hot feel like on fire. Why? What happened to my nose? Very depressed about the nose. Please share your opinions or remedies.

Hypopigmentation may resolve if the pigment cells are healthy. I would opt for PRP SC and Melarase creams to even the skin color.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
