Will Half Syringe of Perlane Make a Noticeable Difference, I Was Told I Have Semi Full Lips

Will Half Syringe of Perlane Make a Noticeable Difference,iwas Told I Have Semi Full Lips

A: Perlane in Lips

Thank you for your question. A half of a syringe will give you subtle, natural results. However you may want to make an appointment in 6 months to re-evaluate and possibly have some more injected if you need more volume. I would speak with your injector and ask which kind of filler he/she recommends. Best of luck to you!

How Long Does Perlane Last in Nasolabial Folds?

I was on a cruise.I had perlane-L 1 ml syringe per each side for nasal folds. I was told it would last 2-3 years and 9-12 months for the dysport in my forehead. This seems to differ from information I'm reading on the net. I paid 1600 + 400 for the 2 treatments. The doctor told me she had specific training in the perlane injections and did them in such a way they would last much longer. I'm very happy with the result so far 2 weeks post. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

A: Special technique to make Perlane last 3 years?

I have been doing dermal filler injections for many years and I am unaware of any "special" techniques that will make Perlane last 2 or more years in the nasolabial folds, and there is no way that Dysport (or Botox) will last more than a few months. If you had used a doctor closer to home you could follow-up with him or her when the results don't last as long as promised.

Why Should Filler Lumps Be Massaged Out?

I had perlane a week ago on my nasolabial lines and was concerned about formation of lumps. They were not seen but critically felt after the injection. So, according to some replies received to my previous query, these lumps should be massaged out. They are normal after a week or two, most doctors said (even though one of you said "not really normal"). However, after initial swelling, no bruises, it looks really beautiful,despite some lumpiness still there. Why should I massage them out?

A: Massaging out filler lumps?

Rachek, the key in your situation is that your results are beautiful and you are satisfied with the way you look.

Feeling some lumpiness is not unusual, depending on how much filler was injected for correction. Visible lumpiness is what needs to be addressed.
