“Reaction to Perlane - United Kingdom”

Not Worth It
Spent: $500 in United Kingdom

Comments (5)

Posted 20 Oct 2011

I had perlane injected into my face over a year ago. Where it was injected I now have lumps. I live in the UK and am now being treated at a Hospital every two months and have been told that this will continue for another year. The plastic surgeon said that although uncommon to have this reaction it is by no means rare. Please beware, an allergic reaction IS POSSIBLE, I am living proof.

Hi cheryl, 

Oh my, hospital treatment for the allergy, I'm so sorry. I have heard other community members having allergic reactions to Botox or Dysport, but not yet for Perlane. Can they not just dissolve it or take it out? Please keep us updated. 

Thank you,

-Britt

I get lumps and it is not unheard of. The key is if they are visible and how much?

How large are they?

They were large enough to be very noticeable. Very distressing. I had the perlane put in over a year ago and they are still there. Either side of my mouth, under my lip above the chin where there was a line, above my mouth in two lines that I wanted filled and between my eyebrows where there were small lines. My fault for being so vain.

No, you're not vain.

Have you tried the enzyme hylaluronidase? It should break down the main component in perlane.

Hi, the Doctor at the Hospital is using that I think but because it can thin the skin he says that he has to do it in small doses. Hence the fact that I will have to go and see him every two months for a year ¬!!!!!! Thanks for your posting. Cheryl x
