Perlane Feels Lumpy - Normal?

I just had perlane second time round a few hours ago, with a different professional, as I moved area. Whereas the result is wonderful, I feel the area a bit more lumpy than the first time. It doesn't look it, but I can feel them. Is that normal?

Perlane lumps may be normal, if everything LOOKS good.

Rachek, I just answered your other question about this, but want to also clarify that lumps are normal with Restylane and Juvederm AND Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus. As long as you do not have excessive brusing, or a hematoma, it's ok to leave the lumps in place if they look good. Remember it is normal for everything to SWELL and feel QUITE LUMPY for days after the treatment, so I bet in a week or two you will notice things feel more like what you expect.

Deep fillers can be felt, such as Perlane and Juverderm Ultraplus

Deep fillers need to create volume and their presence can be felt. Fat, Radiesse, Perlane and Juvederm Ultraplus are more viscous than Restylane or Juvederm and that's why they're used for the deep tissue. As long as it is not seen, most patients are satisfied to feel this substance if it makes the overlying skin look better. Even when I'm finished injecting and massage the area to feel its result, I still feel the firmness of the augmented volume despite its smooth contour.... more

Perlane lumps

Regarding your Perlane injections...you said you had your treatment "a few hours ago".  Lumps and bumps is totally normal in the early period. I tell my patients taht they can feel some firmness for a week or so, while the material is "settling in."  It does not seem like you have a reason to be concerned this early. The material is thick and there may be some swelling and possibly bruising. You can gently massage the area and sit tight. If you are stil more

Lumpiness that can be felt and not seen after Perlane

It is very common for Perlane to feel lumpy for 1 - 2 weeks.  It is typically injected deeply enough that the lumpiness can be felt but not seen.   The good news is that the results will more likely last longer.

Lumps After Perlane

Not to worry, lumpiness can commonly be felt after Perlane injections, especially while there is swelling for the first few days after the injections. I recommend a "hands off" approach after the injections for the first week. Then if the lumpiness persists, gentle but firm massage can help speed up smoothing out the area. Assuming the Perlane was not injected too superficially you should be fine over the next few weeks. If not, you should return to your injecting physician.... more

Perlane and lumps

Dr. Schwartz answered this question as I would have. Give the product time to settle down, expect that it could take a week or two, then reassess with your provider if it's bothering you.

Filler Palpable

Fillers act like their name implies: they physcially "fill" wrinkles and folds to replace lost volume. It's normal to feel the filler under the skin. Lumps and bumps that can be seen just by looking and not feeling should be evaluated by the physician who performed the treatment to improve them. Perlane is one of my favorite fillers as it gives a little more volume but is still soft and natural looking. Also, the hyaluronic acid fillers (perlane... more

Perlane lumpy a few hours after injection

It's definitely way too soon to make any judgments about lumpiness. Each time you are injected the results and the recovery can be different. Bruising/no bruising, swelling/no swelling, lumpy/not lumpy. Sometimes the lumps you feel aren't from product but from the injection and trauma to the skin itself. Relax, ice the area, and above all, as crazy as it might sound, ignore it for a few days and see if it resolves on its own. If after a week it... more

Perlane lumps

Lumps can happen with any filler and often are massaged smoothly by the doctor. If you are having problems with the perlane and want it removed, you can go back to your doctor and have him dissolve with hyaluronidase.

Please wait

The lumping may be just swelling. If you manipulate it too much you will swell longer and bruise more. If it is still lumpy after 3-7 days, it should be handled by the injector. This is not your job.
