Im Thinking of Getting Perlane After Jaw Surgery?

Perlane is a great cheek filler and if you don’t like it, it can be dissolved.  Restylane or Belotero is a better option for the lower lid/tear trough area, though.

An in-person exam would really be necessary to provide you with advice. In general, facial fillers can yield a fantastic result when injected properly by a trained specialist. Each physician has a preference as to the filler they like to use for specific areas. For under the eyes, I would recommend Restylane. Perlane or Radiesse are great options for the nasolabial folds, and Radiesse works nicely for the temples. From here, I would recommend a consult with a board certified specialist in your area. A plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist are all great choices. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

I would suggest meeting with a well-trained and reputable provider to discuss all of the options, pertinent to your specific facial aesthetic needs. Sometimes one or more dermal fillers and/or treatments are your best options. Having a conversation with the right injector will help guide you in the right direction.

Fillers are a great option to add volume back to the face after it has been lost.  There are a number of fillers available, and each one has its strengths and weaknesses.  The best injectors understand this, and they know which fillers produce the best results in which areas of the face.  Perlane is a great filler for certain things, but for others I would not use it as a first line choice; I would select something else which would do a better job for the purpose.  For example, I love to use Perlane under the eyes in the inner half, or the "tear trough," but for the cheeks, or chin, or temples I would use something else like Sculptra or Radiesse.  The best advice that I can give you is to find a very well qualified and experienced injector, perhaps one from the link I have added below, and have a personal consultation to review your individual goals and what it would take to accomplish them.  If you really wanted to maximize your options, you could also consider fat grafting to some of those areas of your face, and in that case, be sure to select a physician who has experience with that too so that can be presented as an option and you can hear the pros and cons of that as well.  Good luck.

For the hollows under your eyes you should only consider Restylane.  For overall facial volumizing I would recommend you to consider Sculptra.  For instant gratification, Perlane is a good option in certain areas.  Please consult with an experienced provider. 

Good luck.

Perlane is a thicker HA filler, so it works to fill larger or deeper areas. It would be best for you to see a board-certified injector in person for an evaluation. You have a number of areas you want to fill, so you are going to need several syringes, and you may be more in need of a few different types of fillers, Perlane, Juvederm, and/or Restylane.
