Perlane at lower lid

John Philip Connors III, MD answers: Perlane for lower eyelids?

The plastic surgeon whom I consulted with regarding doing something to help my lower eyelid depressions has recommened Perlane. Would you agree with this?

I agree with previous post....Perlane has been used at cheek-lid junction, off label; the dose is relatively small, so the entire syringe is not used and other areas can be treated at the same time.

I have not been injecting hyaluronic acids into this area of the eyelid because of the risk of a bluish, bruise-like, long lasting side effect of the product. This is due to the refraction of light through the tissue and the filler called the Tindle Effect and only goes away when the fill goes away. Looks similiar to a long-lasting bruise.

Ask your physician, who I assume is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, about the risks and about alternatives to inject in this area that may not have the above side effects.

I hope this helps!

Good Luck.
