Answer: Swelling after Bellafill around eyes First off, Bellafill requires a skin test to see if you are allergic to the collagen. It needs to wait 4 weeks to see if you are. Second, manipulating for 10 minutes is not customary and it maybe because the doc felt his injections weren't in the exact location he desired. This product must be done by very skillful injectors because it is a very long lasting filler. I would seek another opinion right away. Sam Lam is in Texas and has a huge experience with this filler. You might be allergic to the collagen or have an infection, it's hard to say.
