I had two syringes of bellafill for marionette lines but the doctor Injected in my cheek area to do a "lift" instead of on the lines because it will look too heavy. I'm two weeks in and i don't see much of a difference, also I feel like my one cheek (left) looks bigger then my right side. I'm trying to be patient and see if does more "lifting" after time or was I filled in the wrong place ?

Answer: Improving marionette lines with Bellafill--add sculptra, rf treatments, peels, ultherapy Keep in mind, it can take several months for final results with Bellafill. And, you will most likely need more than one treatment to get the final outcome as bellafill builds collagen over the long term. For marionette lines, a combination approach will get the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the lines themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, ultherapy and peels to get the most conservative natural look and provide lift. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Belafill for marionette lines Thank you for your question. Bellafill contains PMMA microspheres which provide a scaffold that supports your own natural collagen production as it develops over time. 83% of patients were still satisfied with their results 5 years after improvement. Your results will continue to improve; however, more syringes will likely be required. If you use a hyaluronic filler like juvederm, the results are greater initially, but decrease over time, whereas, bellafill results improve over time. Swelling can last for several weeks and repeat injections can be done in 4-6 weeks. Please consult a local board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a comprehensive consultation
