Can Chlorine Prolong Healing After Perlane Under Eyes?
asked 2 years ago by renaissance in Washington
Latest answer by Grant Stevens, MD
Question viewed 813 times
Can eye swelling after perlane last a month? And can chlorine from swimming make swelling last longer? Had perlane under eyes 7 days ago.No bruising but 1 day later dark raised & baggy areas. Dr says swelling can last a month+. I swim in chlorine 3x wk and eyes feel tired. Can that prolong healing? Massage hasn't helped, now considering hyaluronidase, but nervous. Could this still be swelling?

Chlorine and Perlane Injections
Chlorine should not cause any adverse effects with Perlane injections. I personally do not inject Perlane in the tear troughs. Restylane is my preferable injectable in this area. Considering Hyaluronidase should not be out of the question in your situation...
Good luck, hope this helps.

Chlorine and eye swelling
Chlorine shouldhave no effect on perlane injections,. On the other hand I am not a fan of Perlane in this area. I prefer thinner smaller molecule products like restylane.

Chlorinated Pool water has nothing to do with Perlane swelling
Skin contact with chlorinated water will not result in soft tissue swelling. Perlane is a rather poor choice for injecting close to the lower lids. It was intended for deep injections NOT superficial ones where it can be associated with prolonged water attraction and swelling. By examining the pictures you posted, it appears the actual Tear Trough (Nasojugal) depression was poorly done on both sides with an inexplicable transverse "speed bump" across your right lower lid...

Chlorine should have no relationship to healing from any filler
Chlorine should not affect the healing from your Perlane treatment. Chlorine can dry out your skin however which might exacerabate lines, wrinkles and bags. Moisturize well and see if it still looks the same. If so it probably is from the treatment but has nothing to do with swimming.

Chlorine prolong healing after Perlane under eyes
I can not find any relationship between HA acid fillers and chlorine in the medical literature. Also I do not recommend Perlane for the tear trough areas, in my opinion too thick. But from your so kindly posted photo I think over time (weeks to a month) your result will improve. Go discuss with your injector.

Swelling from Perlane
There can be a lot of swelling from Perlane compared with Restylane. You might develop a great response if you can afford to be patient before having the hyaluronidase.
