Immediately after Bellafill injections when I looked in the mirror my right eye looked perfect, but my left eye had a lump of swelling underneath. 4 days later it looks like I never had injections under my eye, however the left eye still has a little bump of swelling that has only slightly decreased in size. There is also yellow bruising on the side of that eye. The swelling is a little bit noticeable in my vision but nothing serious, is worse in the morning then goes away, and seems to fluctuate in size.

Answer: Bellafill results: what to expect It sounds like you had some bleeding under the skin on one side, which would cause swelling. This can last as long as 2-3 weeks, because it can take time for the body to reabsorb the blood. If you still notice a lump here after 3-4 weeks, you should check in with your injector and let them take a look. The next part of your question is whether the results will improve, and the answer is yes! Bellafill usually looks good right away because of the collagen gel that is injected, but the real magic of Bellafill is the PMMA biostimulators in the collagen. These will stimulate your own collagen, which effect peaks at 3-4 months after injection, and continues subtly for up to a year! Be patient and you should see beautiful results. We love Bellafill in my office, it's like a gift that keeps giving. Also, make sure you have before photos taken, because the changes are gradual and sometimes you forget how you looked before treatment. Best of luck! -Dr. Jenny
