I just had perlane injections in my nasolabial folds yesterday. there was automatic bruising in my left side & this morning i woke up w 2 additional small bruises at different needle stick sites. i know they will subside but when looking in the mirror and smiling just now, i notice that i have a large dimple on my left side (exactly where the largest and first bruise is) and i did not have a dimple there before the injections. is this just swelling and will it go away?

Dimples after Perlane

Perlane and dimple
You need to see your doctor to evaluate your condition. As dimples are depressions, it doesn't make sense that a filler would cause a depression. If there's too much Perlane or too superficial in one are creating a bump then the area next to it could look like a depression but it doesn't sound like your condition.
