For Facial Wrinkles "This product was injected into my face by an inexperienced doctor, encouraged by a sales rep for this deplorable product. I have severe swelling under my eyes and forehead. I've had multiple injections to rid my face of these horrible side effects to no avail. The doctor, sales rep, and producers of this hideous product take no responsibility for the horrific pain and disfigurement that I've endured! This product must be removed from the market, and I will do all I can to see this be done."

For Facial Wrinkles "I am amazed at these negative reviews. I have had Bellafill injections on the upper cheeks and nasolabial folds twice over 7 years by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The results were no less than perfect, although I did have injection bruising around the right eye that was slow to heal. I probably moved during the injection as it is painful and caused the bruise. It took 10 days to clear up. Other than that, results were no less than spectacular in removing embedded lines and plumping up my aging cheeks. (I am 71 - had the first injection at 64.) I think it's important to see a board-certified plastic surgeon, not an aesthetician, who has lots of experience with Bellafill. My doc flies around the world training other physicians in Bellafill, and I will continue to return every 5 years."

For Facial Wrinkles "I’m having terrible lumps on my lips 5 years later. They are constantly inflamed. Which I read that Bellafill isn’t even approved for lips. Bad granulomas have formed. Run from this product. We should all have a lawsuit for pain and suffering."

For Facial Wrinkles "I had Bellafill injections done five years ago. I have seven permanent lumps around my lips. They are painful when they get caught by chewing. They make kissing difficult! It was the absolute worst thing that I ever did for my face, all just to get rid of a couple of wrinkles. As with all the other reviews, run, don’t walk away from the office!!!!! Do not do this to yourself… you are beautiful as is, and I am quite certain that additional lumps in your face will not add to your beauty."
