I got Bellafill for my cheeks about 2 months ago. I see a couple of small lumps & bluish discoloration. (the black & blue went away 3 weeks after I was injected) Is this normal with Bellafill & what can be done about this?? My cheeks looked better before I was injected!! Thanks!

Answer: Bumps and blue tint after Bellafill This is not normal and should be discussed with you doctor. I would consider using 5 FU if the nodules are large. It is extremely important to be injected by an experienced physician with this filler. I'm a trainer for this product. It is an extremely safe product in the right hands.

Answer: Bellafill for the Cheeks Resulting in Lumps I am sorry that you are having a problem. Three weeks for bruising to dissipate is a very long time and that tells me that you had a lot of bleeding at the time of your injection. I would imagine that a needle rather than a cannula was used to do your injections. Blood can be very caustic to tissue and when mixed with the collagen that is in Bellafill, can result in a lot of scarring and tissue trauma. This is more than likely what you are seeing if you are only 2 months out form your injections. I advise patients to wait 3 months after their injections before intervening with alternative treatment. For now, gentle massage may help. After 3 months, a series of three to four 5FU plus Kenalog 10 injections will almost always settle these types of problems down.I hope that helps.Best regards.
