Belotero Injection Gone Bad in Tear Troughs for Dark Under Eyes - Arlington Heights, IL

Hi all so my doctor was very apologetic and dissolved the Belotero for free. She also gave me my money back because it came out so horribly. That was such a relief because it's a lot of money down the drain. I recommend you ask for them to dissolve it for free or you will take your business elsewhere!

This is the first time I've read about your Beletero problem. You may not be reading Real Self, but if you do I sympathize. I normally tolerate injectable well, other than my body reabsorbs material very very quickly. I can use Artefill and Silikon 1000, but had a bad reaction from Beletero. Some of the injected areas are already down and nearly gone after one month. Some of the other injected sites are slowly disappearing. Shortly after injecting I had red raised itchy lumps at injection sites. The problem was not with the injector, rather the material. I have had to use a lancet to gradually expel this material from my skin. I'm happy to say the injector only used one-half of one syringe. I left town soon after the injection, so there was no way to dissolve this stuff. I have used Artefill many times without a reaction, but my first occasion with Beletero was a total bust. I hope I get a refund from the provider. In my view, Beletero sucks.

I had the same reaction and have dealt with it since November 2012. The doctor did not want to dissolve it and insisted I ice my eye area. After getting the run around I too just hid behind my glasses. When I get my period it swells up so badly the glasses can't camouflage my shoppers. Really depressing and now that it's been ten months the stuff is naturally dissolving and I can cover them somewhat with makeup. I have never had bags and I have had juevederm prior with flawless results. I think the only thing worse than the bags is the dry wrinkles this injectable creates. Hate it and if I wanted a 1200.00 bag I would have bought a Louis Vuitton!!!

i also have a bad look under my eyes, it looks awful,puffy,puffy puffy,and a good waste of money.I called my Dr. who injected me w/belotero and waiting for the stuff that will dissolve it. not only did i bruise for 2 weeks I wasted my time,money and I just hate it. is there any recourse for me?

thanks so much for alerting others. i dont want to sound harsh but is there any way to see a better photo- one of the two is so so so dark i cant manage to make anything out on it. again socavalier, you are doing a service helping and warning others. bless you

Sorry for not posting a better after picture it looks much much better now but not quite what it was before. :(
