What the gurus are saying

Bellafill ranks among the most commonly prescribed fillers dermatologists mention to patients. However, the experts split sharply on whether to use it. Some note its recognition in clinical practice, while others express concern that it's a semi-permanent filler with no reversal option if complications arise. That means if too much is injected or a blood vessel is blocked, there's no enzyme antidote to safely dissolve it the way there is with hyaluronic acid fillers, leaving anyone considering it to weigh the initial results against that risk.

"Bellafill injections for atrophic acne scars carry the typical filler risks like redness, temporary swelling and bruising. Specific risks to consider with Bellafill in particular are the formation of lumps, granulomas, foreign body reactions and allergic skin reactions, since it contains bovine collagen suspended with polymethyl methacrylate spheres and lidocaine, which is why you may need a skin prick test first. Because Bellafill is a permanent, semi-permanent filler, if you develop a complication you can't reverse it the way you can a hyaluronic acid filler with hyaluronidase, so if you have improper placement or aren't happy with the result you're kind of stuck with it, which can lead to uneven contours. Granulomas from the polymethyl methacrylate aren't easy to get rid of and require medical intervention. And as with all fillers, though super rare, there's the possibility of inadvertently injecting into a blood vessel, which can cause serious tissue damage, especially if not recognized and treated promptly."

"The most common brands that we hear about especially in the US is Juvéderm, Restylane, and Bellafill. There are a lot of other brands too that are available and some that are not available that are commonly used in Asia but those are the most common brands that you may hear your injector or your dermatologist mention or talk to you about."

"There are other fillers that I am definitely not a fan of and these are the permanent or near-permanent fillers such as Bellafill, Radiesse, and silicone. Now while these fillers may get you the result you're looking for at least initially, my concern is if you develop a complication. If you let's say have too much filler injected, how do you get rid of them? With hyaluronic acid fillers there is an antidote called hyaluronidase which is an enzyme that can melt that filler away, some of it within literal seconds. The problem is if you have one of these permanent or semi-permanent non-HA fillers and you get a complication like this, then you're basically just kind of screwed. You can do supportive treatments like warm compresses, like Neosporin ointment, like hyperbaric oxygen, but if you've got an intravascular occlusion and you have a part of your face that's not getting enough blood supply because that filler has clogged up that blood vessel, there's no antidote to remove that filler from the blood."
