I had an injection last time and they where very swollen the next day I did not go to work. I want to get my lips done again with a cannula however I need to go to work the next day, generally speaking will I look absurd if I go out or will cannula dramatically reduce swelling ?
Answer: How much will I reduce my chances of swelling with a cannula for lips? Hello, thank you for your question. Both traditional needles and micro-cannulas work quite well for injections. But, as you can imagine, micro-cannulas do have their advantages. With micro-cannulas, no anesthesia is required and the injections are comfortable because of the lidocaine present in fillers. A cannula-based procedure also takes less time and will have you out of the office after just a few minutes. In my experience, a micro-cannula allows the procedure to be performed through a single entry point, allowing volumization to be less painful. However, both treatments result in some degree of swelling and bruising as your body adjusts. I recommend visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-depth consultation. Good luck.

Answer: Reduce swelling? Micro-cannulas with treatment I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent swelling and/or bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers to discuss your desired results and concerns. I hope this helps.

Answer: How much will I reduce my chances of swelling with a cannula for lips. Cannulas are less traumatically hence reduce swelling when compared to injections using needles, however swelling will still occur, since swelling depends on other factors such as how much and what kind of fillers are used.

Answer: How much will i reduce swelling with a cannula? Thank you for sharing your question. There are a number of steps you can take to help reduce swelling - be conservative in the amount of filler placed in a single setting, avoid fillers that attract water such as Juvederm Ultra Plus, ice immediately after treatment, sleep with your head a bit elevated on the night of treatment, and consider bromelain/arnica supplementation. Though a cannula can reduce your swelling I think it best to have your injector select the treatment manner that allows them to get the best result. Hope this helps.
