I recently had Botox and Perlane for my cheek area. It looked great the first time, so I came back for a follow-up. We thought the right side of my face looked a bit flatter than the left, so I agreed to have a bit more filler on it. He did some touch-up on the left side too.
Now the results are disastrous--my face looks good when I make no expressions, but my cheeks look too plump when I smile. It looks so wrong on my heart-shaped face! Will this eventually go down, or can I have it removed?
Baby Face:
Perlane is a soft tissue filler comprised of hyaluronic acid which is a chemical found naturally occuring in human skin. Perlane is a "stiffer" product of larger particle size purposefully designed to be injected into the deeper layers of the skin. Typically, Perlane lasts about six to nine months. Perlane can be reversed by injecting hyauronidase into the treated areas.
Please see your treating physician and discuss your concerns with him/her. Study your before and after photographs- including animated views- before making any decisions. Keep in mind that looking straight ahead in a mirror may distort or magnify your image. Lastly, I would wait at least three weeks to allow the treated areas to settle down and the swelling and brusing to subside. If your are still upset, then I would speak to your doctor about having the Perlane treated areas reversed.
Thank you for your question!
