I always wanted to get rid of the bags under my eyes I got them of a young age is hereditary, so I got two different consultation and both doctors recommended fillers I got BELOTERO and Juvederm for the cheeks. I didn't feel pain witch it is a good thing it was a little weird to see it at first but I like it so far. one eye is very tricky since is very puffy as anesthesia wears off I feel a little sting but nothing I cannot tolerate. I think I will need a little touch up but it is too soon to know. So far everything ok after four hours of getting it done.

sorry about that, has the swelling gone down yet? I think they injected too much. Best to do little by little. I hope you get better soon.

Im so sorry your eye trough filler didn't go well, I have been thinking of getting the same procedure for a while, am 43 and like your self have had eye bag problems from an early age, I had upper and lower eye bag removal 9 years ago but they are starting to come back, I think I will hang on as long as I can and get the same procedure again, as I was very happy with the result. I hope your problem is resolved soon and thank you for sharing your story it was very helpfull. Good luck and all the best x

Yes, the Belotero filler "poofiness" finally went away--after a YEAR. Would have been great had it been in the right location. I'm not brave enough to risk another year of bags. Good luck to you, as I know it can be done correctly w/the right person administering the filler.

Fillers day 2

Chabide
Today is the second day after getting BELOTERO and Juvederm I have not get any bruises , but I got a little swollen. One eye looks better but still see tiny bumps. The left one I see I ridge I quite don't like and is gotten big but hopefully it gets better. I have been taking arnica and applying arnica gel as well. Something else i did is avoid garlic and eat pineapple. Apply ice as well. I have some pain still took some Tylenol.

My experience with Belotero has also been an nightmare, I had Belotero in December 2012 at the top of my cheeks in Tunbridge wells England , like a lots of people I ended up with ademas under my eyes especially the left one, unfortunately this got worse and the doctor suggested I have radiofrequency , she told me this would with the water retention and the puffiness , this was the biggest mistake of my life. Not only the belotero didn’t dissolve , but I still have the puffiness under my left eyes , but after 6 session the RF melted my fat on my cheeks and chin and above my lips,. I look absolutely awful, I lost my identity . I found out that belotero isn’t a very product after all for Under the eyes and Cheeks as this retained a lots of water and can last for years . I was lied about the product and about RF . Whatever you do, don’t go Near radiofrequency this can REALLY disfigure your face. I wish I left the belotero alone and massage it everyday . This is now over 2 years and my face got worse , I still have my left eye swollen , and have lost so much fat that the only solution is fat transfer but am too scared to do . I have ages 10 years . I think the best solution is to leave it alone and wait till it goes on its own , there is too much risk . It will go eventually be patient , I know it is difficult but you don’t want to end up doing something you will regret like me . This has affected , my look , life and health . Good like.

Here are some more pics of the swelling that I hit going on. I wonder if any if you had a bit of discomfort slims like a sting and pain when smiling. Like to hear from anybody that had this done as well.
