“Thicker and Lasts Longer Than Juvederm Ultra Plus - Scottsdale, AZ”

Worth It
Spent: $450 in Scottsdale, AZ

I love my fillers! I alternate between perlane and juvederm in my lips bc for me the perlane last longer and seems thicker but this can result in a little more of a bumpy feel. So thats why I use juvederm sometimes too, it's smoother but doesn't last as long and you get less per syringe.
My dr also uses the perlane at the bridge of my nose and it amazingly makes my nose seem straighter. Its awesome bc I am too scared to get a full on rhinoplasty!
Updated on 6 Sep 2011:
Haven't had as much filler the last few months as I typically maintain due priority of other procedures but had a little last month in middle of lower lip and today in upper border and some in lower border. Chose it over Juvederm for its longevity and thicker consistency.

My Doctor: Paul K. Holden, MD
My rating:
He is a personable and skilled doctor (he did my blepharoplasties, you can read that review for more reasons why I think so highly of him), takes his time and always wants to make his patients happy. Great bedside manner and very accessible if you have questions. Great artistic eye with fillers and the other procedures he offers. When I get the courage to get a rhinoplasty, I will hopefully have him do it!

Wow, you look great! I especially like your nose, which I haven't seen done as often. Nice eye lashes too :)
How much longer did Perlane last for you? Can you see the bumps from it, or just feel them?
Perlane prob lasts 2x as long or more-it's hard to tell bc I try to maintain every 6 wks or so. The bumps u can feel initially and it gradually smooths down but they aren't super noticeable-can just tell the Juve ultra plus is smoother, not as thick feeling.
I love my lashes:). I use latisse and have eyelash extensions. It pretty much eliminates the need for much makeup!
Hi Scottsdale,
I gotta agree with Billy you're nose looks awesome. Glad you found this since Rhinoplasty scars you. Thanks so much for the pictures and the review.

I agree with you that rhinoplasty can be tricky(especially Asian rhinoplasties and risky. I may someday do a minor rhinoplasty bc I have found a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul Holden, that I truly trust and know has the experience (he does a lot of revisions bc he is so good at the nose area). I agree with you that filler is a good start before considering full on rhinoplasty. The filler is not permanant and can always be removed. When you mess around with the cartilage and bone I am sure you can have way more complications and pain(physical and emotional!) if it is not done correctly. Any surgery to your face can be emotionally traumatic at first bc it takes a while to heal and you can't cover it like body surgeries.
Again, so happy for you that it worked out for you :)
Even w/ the filler I worried about granuloma formation.. I know now that Anytime u put in or cut u face risks.. I should have known this the first time ESP b/c I'm on the medical field; I was just too trusting.
Btw do u how of a good procedure- whether it's laser, surg., or creams for a hypertrophic scar formed under the breast ( slightly above the breast crease). This is a second worry for me & hoping that the scar will b improved b/c I know scars will not completely go away. Plz fill me in on any info, whether it's a dr or procedure recommendation.
Thnx !!
You are too sweet, Bellanocha-I have had much help from Dr. Holden lol. Perlane isn't commonly used in lips so make sure you have a dr that is comfortable doing it as it is a very thick consistency and not the same as Juvederm results. Everyone is different-Perlane just happens to work better for me. If you had good results and were happy with the Juve in the past, then maybe just stick to what you're comfortable with. I do periodically use Juve bc of its smoothness but I had to go through trial and error to find out the right maintenance pattern for me.
