Vitrase is used to dissolve the filler product. What it does when dissolving it, is to cause more water to be taken up inthe area causing some more swelling. This will get better usually within a week or so.

Perlane is a wonderful filler to restore facial volumes loss such as the cheeks. Perlane and any other hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using a enzyme called Hyaluronidase. The blue discoloration is from injecting too superficially and can be easily reversed.

For everyone that has had Restylane and liked the effects, Perlane may also be a good option.  It is made by the same company as Restylane, and has very similar properties; the difference being the thickness of the product.  If Restylane has a syrup like consistency, Perlane is a little more like Jello.  Perlane works well in areas where you need a little more bulk, like the cheeks and mid face.  It  works well for the Nasolabial folds, but a better... more
