Can perlane be injected in the lip?

Is it safe to inject Perlane into the lip? If not what are some alternative treatments?

Answers from doctors (1)


No, you do not want to use Perlane in the lip. It is meant for deeper injections and it will make your lips too firm. I would tell you to use Juvederm Ultra or Restylane in your lips. I prefer the Juvederm in the lips as it softens and is more natural feeling than the
Restylane. I have never had a patient that has had Restylane in their lips and then Juvederm want to go back to the Restylane.
