Bellafill ruined my face

$5,000
Bellafill has ruined my face. Do not ever ever get Bellafill injections! You will not be able to remove it.

I’ve searched numerous doctors and options.… You just won’t be able to remove it. You will have to deal with treatments for the rest of your life.

Bellafill is forever. Keep up the good work.
I think your face looks looks just as beautiful now. As someone who hates having a slim face, you're gorgeous
Dr Goldman in Porto Alegre is the most experienced in removing this. Clinica Goldman is where his practice is.
I'm sorry you're going through this! And I also a bit confused as to what you were "fixing," as your 'before' pic looks SO beautiful!!
Kenalog injections worked for me. But it's only effective for clumps of bellafill scar tissue. You can't use it when the product is widely dispersed. I had injections every 6 to 8 weeks you need a doctor who's experienced with kenalog for scar tissue, a surgical dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. Also doctors are not thrilled to treat people who report a bad experience from a named practitioner on the internet.

Update—-BEWARE BELLAFILL

I’ve had consultations with several surgeons. They will not remove my Bellafill. I have nodules in both cheeks and a puffy jawline. My face always looks so swollen.

Please, please, please listen to me… DO NOT EVER GET BELLAFILL!!!!!

More photos of my granuloma

Here is a close up of the granulomas and nodules. My face is very swollen and puffy all the time. My face itches as well.
Bellafill is one of the worst decisions I have ever made. I wish I would have just left things alone. Do NOT use Bellafill for any reason!!!

I believe some people have a reaction to Bellafill or sculptra, like we did, because our immune system's go into overdrive when a foreign substance such as this is injected into our faces. Have you tried steroids?
I have had bad reactions to steroids. Im looking at surgery or laser removal of Bellafill lumps
And I agree with you some people have bad immune reactions
Will steroids help?
Silicone is hydrophilic..hence you will notice more swelling some days than others. Careful surgical removal is the only viable solution. I know that Dr Jordan P Sand MD has experience with successful removal...or maybe able to suggest someone closer to your location
Best regards
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
I made the terrible decision several years ago (2016) to get Bellafill as well. I have so many granulomas and lumps. I went to a surgeon and asked about removing the granulomas and he said he would only do it during a full face lift. It has really changed me over these years, so self conscious about the lumps. Worst decision I ever made as well.
How many syringes did yiu have done ?
What surgeon did you go to? If you don’t mind me asking.
