Bellafill Horror - Tried to Remove Surgically, but See Very Little Change
ORIGINAL POST
Bellafill Horrors - Do Not Use
MiaLaKJanuary 11, 2022
Do not use Bellafill!! I had the product injected on the left and right side of my chin years ago. No problem until I received the Pfizer vaccine. I noticed an inflammation on both sides. Initially they just felt like small bumps, maybe a deep pimple. As they got bigger, my doctor advised an ultrasound. The ultrasound only showed a dark mass and the radiologist noted it as inflamed fillers. After consulting with two plastic surgeons I was told it is from Bellafill that was injected in my chin nearly a decade ago (product is permanent). I started a course of injections, steroids and 5Flu (chemotherapy medication). After several courses of treatment with no result, my plastic surgeon was advised by the company that distributes Bellafill, Suneva Medical, based in San Diego, that Bellafill can cause an aberrant immune response following vaccination causing granulomas. My doctor tried to remove some of surgically, but I see very little change. I have gotten two additional injections since my procedure three weeks ago. The bumps on my chin are still there and now I have depression next to them from the repeated injections. I have contacted Suneva but despite their medical advisor's conversation with my doctor, they are denying recognizing this terrible site-effect of their product.

My surgeon did attempt to remove the scar tissue but it made very little difference. Currently I am receiving bi-weekly injection of a product that was recommended by Bellafill. I don’t recall the name but it is not steroids, although we did try steroid injections as well. It is getting better.
I was boosted two weeks ago and I will continue to get boosted because it is the right thing to do to not only protect myself but protect others and to stop this pandemic even if it means I will have to continue to get shots injected to control the inflammation.
If you review old posts, you will find Dr. Brian Windler used to weigh in but he is a paid consultant and frankly full of nonsense.
There is also Dr. Weiner who used to comment but has now completely backed up.
As far as experts to remove it, I am still searching unfortunately.
Good luck to all of us!
Bellafill doctors have discussed this with my plastic surgeon and recommended a course of treatment despite not talking any responsibility. It is getting better, very slowly.
If interested, there is a support group thread on WhatsApp. We are all trying to gather information to solve our Bellafill issues.
How do I get into the support group on whatsupp?
