I Want to Get Perlane to Enhace my Cheeks, my Chin and my Lips
my cheecks have "fallen" for the past year, making me look tired and older, my jawline looks funny, and I never had a prominent chin, I feel very tempted to do fillers, I have consulted with a doctor and he said we can fill my cheecks and my chin, and that would make me looka a bit younger (I'am 35, so the problem is not too bad, but I noticed it)I'am just too scared of necrosis,i have seen horrible pictures of this side effect, this keeps me from doing it,any advice?

Fillers and necrosis
There are definitely higher risk areas when injecting any filler to your face, and from what you're describing, sounds like you're in need of some pretty straight forward volumizing to lower risk areas. If you consult and have treatment by a well-trained and experienced provider, you'll minimize your risks. It's not common to have a necrotic experience, even to higher risk areas of the face.

Perlane to re-volumize the face
Greetings Silviamari~
Perlane is a great way to re-volumize the face and areas that you feel may have become sunken over time. It's good to be aware of risks and complications but don't become too overwhelmed by them. The risk of necrosis with Perlane comes from occlusion of a blood vessel. If this occurs, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the Perlane that is causing the problem and the event can be stopped in its tracks. Bruising and swelling are...

Be conservative with your first treatments, Perlane or otherwise
Being 35 is actually a great time to start some maintenance treatment, but you have to feel comfortable with the procedure, and it is good to appreciate the side effects--bruising, swelling, redness at the area of injection, discomfort, and worst case scenario, skin necrosis if arterial injection/compression occurs. The latter is an extremely rare occurrence, and can be reversed with hyaluronidase if Perlane is used.

Perlane may be used for chin, cheeks, and lips!
Perlane is probably one of the most versatile of the facial fillers. When used properly it can give great results under the eyes, allow the chin, cheeks, lips, and nose. A few nice things about Perlane:
doesn't cause as much initial swelling as Radiesse
reversible if needed, unlike Radiesse
doesn't cause swelling around the eyes like Juvederm
That being said, Juvederm is probably better for the lips, as it is silky smooth and is less likely to...

Perlane injections
Perlane is an excellent filler for the nasolabial (cheek) folds and chin. The risk of skin necrosis is extremely small, but this is something you can discuss with your physician. Make sure you find a physician with extensive experience with fillers (facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, cosmetic dermatology).

These days, nonsurgically enhancing flattening cheeks, filling and shaping thinning lips, straightening out jowls along the jaw line, and restoring projection to receding chins are quite routinely performed in the office in a matter of minutes by experienced esthetic physician injectors. A variety of volumizing and contouring (shaping) materials, i.e.injectables that restore lost volume and which may be molded once injected according to need, are used for these purposes. In the U.S.,...

Perlane for filler of cheeks and chin
This question was recently posed. Perlane and other fillers in the cheek and chin is a very safe procedure, although every procedure has risks. Err on the side of caution and under correct rather than overcorrect. Multiple treatments can be done if you're very concerned and in this way you can get accustomed to the filler before there is full correction.

Risk of complications with Perlane
The risk of necrosis with Perlane is very small if the doctor injecting the filler is well-trained and experienced with dermal filler injections. The experience of the injector has been found one of the most important factors in decreasing the rate of side effects, including necrosis.
Necrosis happens when the filler occludes an artery, either by being placed into the artery or by putting pressure on the artery due to the amount of tissue water it attracts when placed...

Little risk of necrosis with Perlane
You are interested in having Perlane injected into your cheeks and chin. Usually the product is placed very deeply in those areas, so the chance of necrosis is very small. The best product for you to try is one like Perlane, a hyaluronic acid, because there is an enzyme that will literally dissolve it overnight should you have a complication or an unsatisfactory result after treatment.
