Hi, I've had 2 lip injections done previously using normal needles and I had a lot of swelling and bruising and I'm thinking of finding a clinic that uses cannula needle. But before that, can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of using cannula needles for lips? Thanks.

Answer: Cannula vs needle for lip augmentation In general using a cannula technique can be a safer delivery of product. A cannula has a blunted tip which avoids penetrating major vessels. With that said, bruising and swelling is still possible especially in the lips. Of course this varies patient to patient. Lip swelling can also be a result of type and amount of product used. Avoiding blood thinners at least one week prior to treatment may reduce your chances of bruising.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Results using Cannulas with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Implants or Fat I recommend injections with cannulas because it helps limit swelling and/or bruising. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
