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.

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.

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...
