I’ve had other fillers for nasolabial lines and loved the results. Now I’m considering Bellafill, but have received conflicting information regarding injection technique. Should I seek out a doctor that only uses the micro cannula technique, or does a traditional needle give the same results? Thanks for any help you could provide!
Answer: Microcanula and FIllers Facial Fillers performed by a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon that you can trust and communicate with will be most important to assure you an excellent outcome.

Answer: Fillers Such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Silk, Radiesse, Sculptra, Bellafill; Fat Transfer/Renuva Cannulas limit bruising, swelling, and pain. The outcomes can be the same with cannula or needle depending on the persons technique and experience. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Bellafill results can depend on the doc's experience. I tend to use the micro canulas for most injections but your doc may feel more comfortable with the needles.

Answer: Microcannula Versus Needle for Filler Injection Hi and thank you for your question! The choice of needle vs. micro-cannula for injection of filler is often dictated by the comfort level of the physicians and their personal preference. Some do most injections with traditional needles while others primarily use cannula. In my opinion and with certain exceptions, cannula offers several advantages over needle injection and I personally do most of my filler injections with cannula. The blunt end of cannula can reduce the risk of injury to other tissues and can reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. It's longer and can be slided under the skin, allowing us to do more injections and reach further areas with fewer points of entry. Patients also experience less discomfort compared with needle injection. All in all and with a few exceptions, I don't use needles for my filler treatments and prefer cannula most of the times. I hope it helps and good luck!
