Best Method for Injecting Around the Tear Trough Area?

esme229
I know some practitioners inject straight up into the tear trough and then from above down the cheek bone; others use a "cross-hatching" method all along the nasojugal groove. Still, others do the injection from inside the mouth. I would like to know which of these method is most effective, and which entails the least amount of complications (bumps, bruises, tyndall effects, etc)? Also, which method is purported to last the longest, so I can be as informed as possible during my consultations. Thank you.
