“Love Restylane - Hate Perlane! Beware.”

I have use restylane for two years with "primo" results in my nasalfolbs, lips, nad marionette lines at the corners of my mouth. I used it every 6 months and was told that I have quite a bit of new collegen growth. Last week I decided I would cut the cost and go for the so-called gold, Peralne. It was the sister long term product that had larger particles than restylane. Buyer beware! My original smile is all gone! Evedently, less is best when you stsrt with the Restylane products since it builds collegen. Forget the costs here. If you do this every 6 months you do have new growth. And if you add the MOTHER product into to the mix, it is way too much for your face to handle. You puff up in that area and you can not smile natually. It stinks for me to think that I now have to wait a year to see my pretty smile again. I had this done by a dermatologist. Be careful whom you go to. Next time, I'll pay the extra to go have it done by a cosmetic surgeon.
