I had Belotero injected four weeks ago to the tear trough area with a cannula (1/4 syringe maximum on each tear trough). I also had a small amount of Botox administered to the under eye area. I cried quite heavily three weeks post treatment and am concerned the Belotero has attracted a lot of excess fluid as my eyes still feel heavy and appear puffy six days later. Will absorption of fluid by the Belotero as a result of crying remain until the filler dissolves?

Answer: Residual eye bags/puffiness after Belotero injection
All fillers run the risk of some swelling and bruising but these are temporary side effects. I would definitely suggest that you find an expert with these facial injections for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
You can absolutely have Belotero and Restylane injected into the same place, whether it be under the eyes or around the nasolabial area. This is an advanced technique under the eyes so please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
