Way to Dissolve a Lump from Perlane?
I had Perlane injected on marionette lines and it seems that they were overfilled or not done properly since I have a lump the about the size of my thumb next to my mouth. This was done about one month ago, and when I asked the doctor to try dissolving the lump using Hyaluronic acid, he said he had never used it before and would rather just put in more Perlane. Is there a problem with using Hyaluronic Acid? Would I be just making a problem worse?

Treating lumps 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.

Wydase Hyaluronidase Can Be Used To Reduce Restylane Perlane Juvederm or Elevess

Perlane and lumps
Without assessing you in person or first viewing a photo, it's very difficult to determine exactly the severity of your "lump" and whether or not you are asymmetrical. Hyaluronidase when injected correctly and the in right amount, will digest any lump resulting from Perlane.

Dissolving Perlane
Greetings Gail~
Hyaluronidase would be an excellent solution for eliminating an area of Perlane that you are unhappy with or that may have been overfilled. Hyaluronidase can quickly and easily be injected into the area dissolving the product immediately. If it is a lump you are concerned about, dissolving it and possibly trying Perlane again would be a better idea than trying to fill around it.
Good luck~

Hyaluronidase will dissolve Perlane
We think you may be getting confused with the terminology. The main component of Perlane is hyaluronic acid. If you have a Perlane lump you would not want to inject more of the same (more hyaluronic acid). Instead, Hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the Perlane and remove the lump completely.

Hyaluronidase can easily solve your problem
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....

Hyaluronidase often can correct errors
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. I have never heard of problems with this injection. In compounded products, there is a risk of allergy, so a skin test can be performed first, but with the FDA approved products, allergies have not been reported. In general, all hyaluronic acid fillers are effective and safe and...
