Is Perlane safer than collagen injections?

Question:
I am male and have very thin lips. I would like Perlane to fill in the lips somewhat, but definitely not overfill. The pouty look is not what I am after. Is Perlane safer than collagen injections?

Answer:
I love Perlane, but, not in the lips.  Perlane is a fantastic dermal filler however, the particle size is a bit large and may make your lips feel a bit stiff and artificial.  I do use other hyaluronic acids such as, Restylane and Juvederm, and strive for a natural full appearing lip while not over filling the lip.  I no longer use collagen as collagen is an inferior product when compared to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
