Removal of Bellafill from under the eyes?

If someone has developed complications from Bellafill, then immediate care is recommended to prevent further problems. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery center, we see short and long-term complications from Bellafill, which include swelling, asymmetry, nodularity, granuloma, formation, itching, pain, erythema and redness, hematoma formation, and infection.
 
Bellafill seems to have the ability to either migrate locally or to cause local inflammatory conditions that may lead to chronic swelling and nodules. Our double board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in the management of undereye and facial Bellafill, and these inflammatory conditions can be addressed with either surgical or non-surgical methods.
 
Patients who have under eye Bellafill swelling and nodules may benefit from a procedure in which the Bellafill is surgically removed or dissolved  partially. The most important nonsurgical option is the introduction of intralesional injections in order to soften the scar tissue around the Bellafill, a surgical option for the eyelids includes a subciliary incision, followed by surgical extirpation and removal of the unwanted Bellafill that is causing problems.
