Bellafill and collagen supplements, would they stimulate growth again?

Question

I had bellafill placed in my jaw a number of years ago, and unfortunately it was overfilled. I’ve been getting injections of kenelog/5fu with some positive effects in reduction. I’d like to start taking bone broth protein powder as an after workout protein. It has about 15 grams of protein per serving. I was wondering if by taking this would the collagen in the supplement stimulate growth again and undo the progress I’ve made in reducing the scar tissue?? Any ideas or thoughts would be helpful!

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.

I do not believe that taking bone broth protein powder would have any effect on the Bellafill treatment that you had on your jaw.  In my opinion, the protein powder should not stimulate growth in the Bellafill treatment area.
