Voluma lasts up to 2 years, Perlane up to 1 year. Also, Voluma lifts more than Perlane, due to the way the molecules are cross linked, which makes for a better cheek filler, in my opinion.
They are very different, last different amounts of time all because of the cross-linking technology. However, they both have lifting capacity, so they theoretically could be used for similar functions but perlane may not last as long in some people.

I suggest a combination approach to get rid of the lumps or improve them. They are likely late onset inflammatory nodules and need to be decreased before turning into scar. Best, Dr. Emer.
You can have the filler removed please see an expert who does a lot of filler injections. Best, Dr. Emer.
