Perlane and Swelling
It's expected you will have some swelling for a week or so, after injection(s) of Perlane. Bruising can happen, and could last up to 10 days. Swelling isn't permanent, but the volumization from the filler should last several months.

Swelling can be due to Perlane volume, a bruise or just swelling from the injection.
Swelling from the injection or from a bruise will go down in a few days to a few weeks. If too much product was injected, the swelling may persist and may need to be dispersed or dissolved. Check back the the doctor who did your treatment if you are still concerned after a couple of weeks.

Is Swelling Following Perlane Injection in Nasolabial Folds Permanent?
No, the bruising and swelling associated with Perlane injection isn't permanent and should slowly subside over the next week or so. IMHO, Perlane doesn't have much bruising or swelling associated with its use versus Radiesse, for instance, however anything injected into the thin lower eyelid area that's filled with vessels...is prone to cause bruising IMO.

Bruising and swelling after Perlane
Bruising is a not uncommon reaction after fillers such as Perlane.

I will sometimes apply a cold pack and mild pressure to the area...

Swelling and bruising after Perlane
If you have significant bruising, ask your doctor if they have a pulsed dye laser to treat the bruises. It can cut the time to resolution dramatically. Typically swelling abates within a week but the bruising, if not treated with a laser, can take two weeks or longer to resolve. Of course there are individual variations, but there will be no permanent swelling. Best to you.

No not permanent.
Having said that these bruises take time to resolve and create swelling. The swelling contributes to the fullness you see. How long does it take to resolve. In some cases these bruises can take up to a month to completely settle. Once this period of time has passed, the treatment should look much more acceptable. If for some reason it is not every thing you want, hyaluronic acid fillers like Perlane and Restylane can be adjusted by your injecting physician with...
