Dr. Voss has added Bellafill to her repertoire. She is a true artist, and I have trusted her for many years to remove sun cancer lumps on my face and body. She is so good with the surgery that I have almost no visible scarring even though she has had to remove lumps the size of a golfball.
She offered me the opportunity to be her learning patient when she added Bellafill to her practice, as it is permanent, natural, and would be a great solution for my deep craters from teenage sebaceous cyst acne, 40 years ago. I have suffered with these scars all my life, but as I reached my mid-fifties and my skin really started to sag (hereditary and result of tanning) the scars on my cheeks made me look so haggard and old, and I was embarrassed about my appearance.
Dr. Voss used several syringes of the Bellafill under the supervision of another doctor, which was a wonderful benefit to me as it didn't cost me anything since I was the guinea pig. Although there was significant bruising which lasted about 2 weeks, due to the high volume of product, the result is just spectacular.
My self-esteem has risen incredibly. My cheeks are smooth and plumped and since this is a natural, permanent product, my own collagen is growing around the granules. It has been almost a year and I can assure anyone that this is permanent, and lovely. People I see frequently told me after the procedure that I looked very youthful (they didn't know I had anything) and continue to tell me that to this day.
I am so grateful to Dr. Voss and Bellafill for the results. I have been living with these scars my whole adult life, and you can't hide this with makeup or anything short of a complete facelift, which sags after 10 years or so. I feel pretty again and it has been a really long time since I could say that.
I have a couple of small dimples still that were so deep that I could use one more tiny application and I intend to have Dr. Voss do that for me.
It's amazing, not only the product, but Dr. Voss. She is dedicated to her patient's satisfaction, appearance and health. I would never go to anyone else to keep my skin healthy.

Photo added at request of viewers. A very harsh photo but I think you can get the general idea. Much smoother and plumper. This is a year later.

Thank you for sharing. I personally love Bellafill too. Got it injected on 2008 into my smile lines
Well I still don't have the lines and this year got four additional syringes to my temples, cheeks and jawline

Thanks for sharing. I recently had some injections of Bellafill for acne scars. I have pretty bad acne scarring on my cheek area. I have gotten 4 so far. Two on each side. The first couple of days you could hardly see my scars (I am assuming it was because my face was swollen), but now it looks as if nothing as changed. Did this happen to you? Does it take a couple of months to see improvement? I am going in for my last injections in two weeks.

There was some swelling and bruising for about a week. It stayed pretty smooth for a couple of months, then went down and I think my own tissue has filled it back in to about 75% of the original plumpness, it has now been a year. I got all of mine at once, not sure if that made a difference.

Bellafill is called SEMI-permanent. Meaning, it will last 5 years for sure, sometimes longer. Bellafill is composed of 80-90% bovine (cow) collagen and 10-20% PMMA microspheres. The PMMA component of the product is permanent. The bovine collagen gets reabsorbed by the body over 2-3 months after injection and gets replaced with your own collagen. Touch-ups likely to be needed at some point. You have to be tested for any possible allergy to Bovine (cow) collagen first. I'm interested in this too, but am waiting until it's been around longer. I've seen a lot of reports of people developing hard to remove granulomas from it.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Can you post some pics too? Love to see your results!
I had cystic acne in my 20s and understand how devastating that scarring can be - good for you for doing something about it! Where on your face would you say you have/had the most scarring?
