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.
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?
