LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

I had restylane and perlane injected in my face almost 3 wks. ago and love the results.

HOw long before my face stops changing; is it a few months as you have noted for the fat grafting?

I can still see one swollen spot under my left eye, but otherwise I can not believe the difference this has made.

Thanks for the great work you do! You are wonderful!

First, thank you so very much for the kind (but unnecessary) thank you card that you sent me. I was truly touched and moved to say the very least. (I hope that I am thinking of the right patient!?)

Most swelling after restylane and perlane is gone after the first week. Some may linger for another 1 week or so but that would be negligible.

Remember the difference between Restylane and Perlane versus fat is that there is very short lived swelling for the former compared with fat but also fat is pretty much permanent whereas you could lose Restylane and Perlane even after a few weeks (albeit unlikely).

Restylane and Perlane fillers performed around the eyes and jawline should last much longer than in the lips or in the smile lines. I have seen on average about 6 to 9 months. Of course, I have seen a few people hold it shorter with some loss after 3 months (but not all of it just some) and also I have seen people hold it for one year and more.

If you see a little fullness under the left eye that should not be there, please just make an appointment to see me. I can take care of that with some Vitrase, which dissolves a little of the Restylane within less than a day and without any real risk of bruising or swelling. There, of course, would be no charge for that, and I would be more than pleased to take care of you. I rarely see any unwanted fullness around the eyes, but when I do since I use 100% reversible products it is so very easy to take care of.

Best,
SML

Yes , DR. lAM,

You do have the right patient. I will make an appt. if the swelling fails to subside after another day or two.

Thanks

I am currently in Hong Kong lecturing. Will be back next week.
best wishes,
