Caution!
If the blood vessels of this area are embolized, skin could die or worse. Many fine doctors will not even inject this area at all.

No Perlane in the glabella
I agree with the other physicians. Perlane is much too thick and should never be used in the glabellar area for filling.

As stated previously, you have to be careful in this area because of the relatively...

This is a high risk area for fillers. They can be used here but only with care and with a filler that should be placed superficially. Perlane is a filler that is meant to be placed in the deep dermis-upper subcutaneous region and is absolutely not a superficial filler.
This area can be dangerous for a filler placement, since gangrene can result if the filler is not placed properly , either the wrong filler ( eg. Perlane), or placed too deeply or rapidly. What happens is the...
