Way to Dissolve a Lump from Perlane?

Lumpiness from any of the hyaluronic acid fillers like Perlane can be treated by an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is injected in the area of concern and dissolves the excess product. Even if you choose not to treat the lump in this way, remember, the filler does not last forever, so the lumpiness will eventually go away.

You can definitely have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve or smooth out the Perlane if it is not achieving the results you desired. This will not make the problem worse - it will improve your situation. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down the hyaluronic acid material that makes up Perlane. This is simple to do and inexpensive. Since your injector created the lump and is not familiar with how to treat the unwanted effect, it might be prudent to see a more experienced clinican.... more

The procedure you are thinking about is injection with the enzyme called hyaluronidase which can dissolve unwanted or incorrectly placed hyaluronic acid fillers such as Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm, and Prevelle.

In general, all hyaluronic acid fillers are effective and safe and... more
