I am very please with my results. Perlane was my first wrinkle injection treatment. I had planned to get Radiasse injected because it lasts several months longer, but the P.A. who treated me suggested Perlane since it was my first time . She said that if I liked the results, the having the Radiasse (or other longer lasting filler) would be a good idea.

I love the fullness it gave me at the top of my cheeks ,just under the eye area. That improvement alone was worth the discomfort. I also really like the fullness and line reduction around the mouth,smile lines and lower corners of lips/chin.

I did have several bruises (that took about ten days to disappear)but some were from the Lidocaine injections used to numb the area . No swelling that was obvious, but a tenderness and sensitivity that lasted for several days. Looks and feels very natural.

I would definitely recommend and will have more fillers as these wear off. The filler should last 6 -9 months, I was told. It has been about 3 weeks since my treatment and I am thrilled with my younger look!
I would definitely recommend going to a female Dr. (or other professional) if possible , or finding a male physician who is artistic and talented with plastic surgery.

i had perlane injected into my nasal folds at a cost of $1200. I thought it was way too much but first time so i wasn.t sure. It looked great for about 2 months then started wearing off. Im still paying the credit card bill for this even though it has all worn off. I would not do this again because of the expense only. I would recommend anything more permanent of, as an alternative, at least to last about a year or so. Any suggestions??
