Swelling after injections

Swelling can last for a few days, but if the area is overcorrected than it will last for months. Some patients need more than one cc for each smile fold, but others may need less than one for both folds. Your anatomy and volume loss are different from the next patient’s, and yours is different now than years ago and it will be different in the future than it is now. Therefore, your volume replacement quantity is not the same and will change over time.

Perlane and swelling

It is not uncommon to have a week or two of swelling, and dependent upon volume loss and amount needed, 1 vial of Perlane may or may not be enough. Without seeing you in person, it is very difficult to answer your question.

I advise patients to use cold packs immediately after treatment, and... more

Perlane, Juvederm, Fill NLF's, Face Fillers

Honestly, there's almost no swelling with Perlane in the NLF's or Cheeks. We have patients that get perlane and attend important functions, red carpet events, TV appearances that same day or evening. Much less swelling than with Radiesse in my opinion.
