Are You Suppose to Feel Lumps After Perlane and for How Long?

Are you suppose to feel lumps after perlane and how long do they last?

A: Are You Suppose to Feel Lumps After Perlane and for How Long?

  IMHO, Perlane is very well suited for filling and shaping the face because there is far less lumpiness than when using Radiesse.  The degree of lumpiness depends on several factors including the depth of injection, the amount injected into each injection site and the degree to which the Perlane is smoothed out and shaped.  I massage and mold the Perlane and/or Radiesse into the desired shape while feathering in the edges and decreasing lumps.  If you have lumps after Perlane wait several days to see if they resolve and of course you should always check with the MD that did the Perlane injections for his/her opinions.  Be sure that the MD, you choose for your facial shaping or contouring, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face...not one that's just plumped up and featureless.

I want it removed 100%,feels like alien prod in face,hate feeling,&look.Mad with myself

  This demonstrates the fact that there's no inherent magic in any of these fillers but rather the need for the MD injecting them to undertand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attrractive face...not just a plump, over-filled one.  If left alone, the Perlane will go away on it;s own.  Hyaluronidase injections will remove some of the Perlane but may also make you more lumpy if some is left behind.

Will Perlane Last Longer Because I Got 2 Syringes?

I went to a plastic surgeon to get a filler in my lips and smile lines. Due to miscommunication on my part he gave me a syringe on each side instead of half on each side and one for my lips. I was wondering since I got 2 syringes will it last longer? Normally, I only get one.

A: Will Perlane Last Longer Because I Got 2 Syringes?

  It might look like the Perlane is lasting longer when a full correction, or augmentation is performed but in reality the Perlane last the same amount of time which IMO is about 8-9 months.  Remeber that there's no inherent  magic in Perlane or any filler.  The magic resides in the MD's ability to understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty when performing facial contouring and facial shaping whether with fillers or implants.  The right filler, in the right place used in the proper amount creates natural beauty...when it's not...not so much.
