What Is Belotero?

Belotero is a hyaluronic acid–based dermal filler that is specifically designed to address fine lines and delicate areas of the face. Unlike thicker fillers that add volume to cheeks or jawlines, Belotero’s smooth consistency allows it to integrate into the skin for a soft, natural finish. Its formulation helps reduce the risk of the Tyndall effect, a bluish hue that can occur when filler is placed too close to the surface. This makes Belotero a preferred choice for patients with thinner skin or those seeking subtle, refined improvements.

What Can Belotero Treat?

Belotero is a versatile filler that can address many common aesthetic concerns. Its gentle formulation makes it particularly well-suited for delicate or hard-to-treat areas. Common uses include:

  • Fine lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
  • Tear troughs and under-eye hollows
  • Vertical lip lines
  • Marionette lines around the mouth
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Fine wrinkles on the cheeks or chin

Who Is a Good Candidate for Belotero Treatment in San Diego?

Patients who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines or mild volume loss are often good candidates for Belotero. It is particularly helpful for those with thinner skin or those seeking treatment in delicate areas such as under the eyes.

Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation with Dr. Iyengar will determine whether Belotero is the best option or if another filler would better meet your goals.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Iyengar will take time to understand your goals and evaluate the areas you wish to treat. He will discuss your medical history, assess your facial structure, and recommend whether Belotero is the right option for you. This visit is also your opportunity to ask questions about the treatment process, recovery, and expected results. By the end of your consultation, you will have a personalized treatment plan designed for safe, natural-looking outcomes.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Belotero treatments are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour. After the treatment areas are cleaned, a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. Using either a fine needle or a blunt cannula for added safety, Dr. Iyengar carefully places the filler beneath the skin. Patients often notice improvement immediately, with results continuing to refine as the filler integrates naturally into the tissue.

Recovering After Belotero Treatment

Most patients experience little to no downtime following Belotero injections. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site is common but temporary, usually resolving within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and pressing on the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Makeup can typically be applied the next day, and results are both subtle and immediate. Depending on the individual and treatment area, Belotero can last from 6 to 12 months.

I would give Dr. Iyengar 10 stars if I could!

I just recently had a skin lesion removed from my lower eye lid. The procedure was cosmetic and something I wanted to do for years, but was terrified to go through with. I had made it out to be much scary than it actually was. I came into the office incredibly nervous and the staff was so kind and patient with me. Dr. Iyengar did the most incredible job making sure I stayed comfortable through the very quick procedure and was so precise with his work. He kept every single lash in place and the area has heeled beautifully and way quicker than I could have imagined! I am SO HAPPY I went to him for this and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an eyelid specialist! He definitely knows what he’s doing!!!

I went from feeling like I looked tired and angry all the time…to vibrant and awake!

I went from feeling like I looked tired and angry all the time…to vibrant and awake! The whole experience was worth it! The surgery was fast and painless, recovery was smooth, and the results are terrific! I have three words for those who hate their eyes like I did…make an appointment! Thank you Dr. Iyengar!

I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar for any eyelid procedure you want or need to have done.

B.B.

I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar for any eyelid procedure you want or need to have done. I had bags and circles under my eyes for many, many years that always bothered me. Initially, I went to a dermatologist to see if a laser procedure would help, but he said it was a surgical issue and referred me to Dr. Iyengar. Upper eyelid and scarless lower eyelid procedures were recommended, and I went ahead with both. The results are incredible!! No more bags or circles under my eyes, and the extra skin on my upper eyelids is gone. I am thrilled with the results!! The entire experience was great from beginning to end, including the office visits, his staff is awesome, too! To the procedures, done right there at the surgery center in the same building, to the aftercare. Everything has been smooth, organized, and very professional. No pain from beginning to end either! I shouldn’t have waited until my 60’s to have it done, but I am glad I finally did!

I saw Dr. Iyengar for ptosis correction, and I am so happy with the results!

I saw Dr. Iyengar for ptosis correction, and I am so happy with the results! He’s an excellent surgeon, and just as importantly, he’s understanding and patient and really takes time to listen and answer questions. Highly recommend!

The procedure was done very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Iyengar has a magic touch.

Dr. Iyengar did my upper eyelid surgery one week ago. I was a little nervous to have the surgery since it was on my eyes, but after meeting with Dr. Iyengar and his staff, I was confident enough to schedule the surgery. I am beyond thrilled with the results already, and they are still a little swollen and bruised. Such a difference. The procedure was done very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Iyengar has a magic touch. I’m so happy I went with San Diego Eyelid Specialists. The office staff is great, too. I highly recommend them.

I have been a faithful fan of BOTOX for at least ten years, and when he does my BOTOX, it’s perfect.

A.B.

I work at a surgery center in Encinitas that Dr. Iyengar does surgery at. First off, every nurse I work with raves about his technique in the OR. He is not just a good eye surgeon, he is gifted. I’m talking blow-your-mind skills when it comes to eyelid surgery. I actually go to him for my BOTOX injections now. I have been a faithful fan of BOTOX for at least ten years, and when he does my BOTOX, it’s perfect. Never too much, just right! I am definitely planning on going to him in the next year for eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty. I referred a friend to him, and she couldn’t be happier. I’m not big on referring surgeons because it’s a very personal choice, but I do recommend him to everyone who has any eye issue, not just surgery.

I am so glad I did this, and most of all, I am happy that I chose Dr. Iyengar.

L.M.

As a medical doctor myself, I understand that not all doctors are alike. For years, I wanted to get my “heavy” upper eyelids done, as with age they only get worse. The main concern I had was not looking like I had my eyes done. I only wanted to have them look normal. It wasn’t until I saw a friend who looked different (better), but I didn’t know why. She told me that she had her upper eyelids done. I knew then that this was the doctor. I checked out Dr. Iyengar’s other work and his credentials. Everything I saw was top-tier. I had my eyes done in his Encinitas office in July 2020, and it went better than I thought. The doctor was great and reassuring, and his staff were all friendly and helpful. It was overall a very easy experience. After a few weeks, my eyes were looking near “normal,” just as I wanted. It’s almost 2 months now, and I couldn’t be happier. I have now had a few people ask me what’s different, and said, “why do you look younger”. I smiled (and told them). I am SO glad I did this, and most of all, I am happy that I chose Dr. Iyengar.

We could not be more pleased with the experience and results.

S.D.

As a fellow eye surgeon, I am particular about who I send my family to. Having researched many surgeons in California, I had my parents come down from Los Angeles to have eyelid surgery with Dr. Iyengar. We could not be more pleased with the experience and results. He strives for a natural appearance when doing cosmetic eyelid surgery. Something we greatly appreciate. We would highly recommend Dr. Iyengar!

Great staff made everything work seamlessly.

J.F.

His entire staff were very professional and caring. Surgery went well, and the outcome was perfect.

S.S.

Dr. Iyengar was able to see her very quickly and assured us that he was familiar with this and not to worry. Everything was explained in advance, and he and his entire staff were very professional and caring. Surgery went well, and the outcome was perfect.
