Would the Bellafill be visible during a facelift and able to be removed?
Hi. I'm unfortunately currently experiencing ongoing complications (irritation, swelling, and redness) following Bellafill filler, and I'm beginning to think that a facelift may be the best option to treat this surgically. I'm hoping to hear from some facial plastic surgeons about this here. I am 1.5 years post injection and the Bellafill is diffuse in both of my cheeks. I know this is a difficult area, but I'm bothered enough by this that I'm seriously considering surgical options. I have already tried a Kenalog series. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would the Bellafill be visible during a facelift and able to be removed? There are not any nodules that I can feel. I'm also not expecting complete removal, I'm just hoping that removing some of it would reduce some of the inflammation I'm experiencing. But would this actually be the best surgical approach, or are there any other approaches you would recommend I look into to address this problem? Thank you!
