It Is Okay to Use More Than One Filler Material In The Same Patient
Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane) and Radiesse may be used simultaneously during a single treatment session, or at subsequent injections, in the same patient. When injecting different filler products during the same treatment session these fillers are not typically used at the same level within a given anatomic area; instead the different products are used at different levels - a more robust filler placed more deeply and a lighter filler used more superficially...

Radiesse after Perlane to Chin...
Rest assure, you can have Radiesse injected in your chin area after having Perlane 6 months ago.
Good luck.

Ok to place and mix Radiesse after Perlane to chin
Sure, it's perfectly fine to add Radiesse into an area where Perlane or another filler was used for augmentation. This shouldn't be a problem at all.

Dermal fillers can be layered for a longer lasting effect
You do not need to wait until Perlane is gone or to remove the residual Perlane before having Radiesse injections. Usually Radiesse is injected deeper than the hyaluronic acid fillers, just above the periosteum, very close to the bone. Hyaluronic acid fillers are usually injected above that.
Since Radiesse stimulates collagen production in addition to filling, that will provide a longer lasting effect as well.

Perlane and radiesse as fillers
Radiesse is a thick filler that is injected in the same plane usually, so these two fillers are usually not done the same time. The Radiesse is a different chemical from the Perlane. It would not provide any benefit if these two fillers were to be injected in the same depth. More viscous fillers are used at the same time as thinner fillers by injecting the thick filler deeper to the thin filler. As an example, radiesse may be placed below Juvederm Ultra or Restylane, and Juvederm...

Radiesse Can be Combined With Perlane
You do not need to have the Perlane dissolved before having Radiesse injected into the same area. Your physician injector will have to be careful to give you the exact amount of correction you want without "over correcting" the area. Properly injected, Radiesse will give you a longer-lasting, very natural looking result. They each work by different mechanisms. Radiesse is not a filler but a stimulator of your own collagen which then acts to volumize tissue in a gradual,...

OK to layer
It is safe to add Radiesse now, but if the Perlane is still there and affecting your appearance, some of the effect will disappear as the Perlane absorbs. Just be prepared to "top off" your result if that happens.
