Will Perlane Last Longer Because I Got 2 Syringes?

I went to a plastic surgeon to get a filler in my lips and smile lines. Due to miscommunication on my part he gave me a syringe on each side instead of half on each side and one for my lips. I was wondering since I got 2 syringes will it last longer? Normally, I only get one.

Perlane in the lips

Assuming you had one syringe per side of your mouth, it doesn't necessarily mean the product will last longer, but certainly will provide more fullness or volume than you're used to if it is typically one syringe split for both sides.

Will more last longer

Each molecule of the hyaluronic acid filler will still dissolve at the same speed so it will not last any longer

Will Perlane last longer because I got 2 syringes?

Having additional Perlane will not make it last longer but getting closer to full correction will cause you to be happier with your treatment for a longer period of time. If have partial correction as it wears off you will likely metabolize enough so that you don't see any change from you baseline. Conversely, if you have more injected as it metabolizes you will still have enough material to still show improvement over your baseline.

It might look like the Perlane is lasting longer when a full correction, or augmentation is performed but in reality the Perlane last the same amount of time which IMO is about 8-9 months. Remeber that there's no inherent magic in Perlane or any filler. The magic resides in the MD's ability to understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty when performing facial contouring and facial shaping whether with fillers or implants.

Yes, assuming proper product placement, there is a good chance that you will see improved results in terms of the appearance and longevity of your Perlane treatment. Providing full correction of volume loss is the key to a successful, long-lasting soft tissue filler result. To provide full correction of the nasolabial folds (NLFs) the average patient requires one or more syringes (>1cc) of hyaluronic acid filler for each NLF.

It is likely that you will be happier with the treatment for a longer period of time.

These services are expensive. As a result doctors and patients generally do not use enough filler for a particular situation. Having an additional milliliter of filler is likely to be very helpful and yes this will directly contribute to you being happy with the treatment for a longer period of time.
