Perlane vs. Radiesse - What Looks More Natural?

I've been using Perlane for my cheeks for the past 18 months. My Dr. built the cheeks up slowly by injecting 1 syringe per visit. I've had 6-8 syringes and am very happy. My left cheek needs only about 1 more syringe, but my Dr. wants to start using Radiesse for a number of reasons including $$$ savings for me over the long run. I trust my Dr. completely, but I'm concerned that Radiesse will not look as natural as Perlane. What do you think? I welcome as much feedback as possible. Thank you.

A: Perlane vs Radiesse for Natural Results...

Both of these products are going to give you an excellent result if used properly.  It sounds like you have found a physician you trust and has given you results you have been pleased with in the past.  It is the technique of the injector that is key to the end result to make it look natural not the product injected.

I Want to Get Perlane to Enhace my Cheeks, my Chin and my Lips

my cheecks have "fallen" for the past year, making me look tired and older, my jawline looks funny, and I never had a prominent chin, I feel very tempted to do fillers, I have consulted with a doctor and he said we can fill my cheecks and my chin, and that would make me looka a bit younger (I'am 35, so the problem is not too bad, but I noticed it)I'am just too scared of necrosis,i have seen horrible pictures of this side effect, this keeps me from doing it,any advice?

A: Little risk of necrosis with Perlane

You are interested in having Perlane injected into your cheeks and chin. Usually the product is placed very deeply in those areas, so the chance of necrosis is very small. The best product for you to try is one like Perlane, a hyaluronic acid,  because there is an enzyme that will literally dissolve it overnight should you have a complication or an unsatisfactory result after treatment.

When Should You See Perlane Results?

when Can you see the result of Perlane once you get into your wrinkles?...

A: Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm

These are dermal fillers whose effects are seen immediately. During a treatment session after one side is treated, you can see the effects immediately and compare them to the untreated side.
