Is it risky to inject Volbella under the eyes without a cannula? (Photo)

Many board-certified dermatologists prefer cannulas because there may be less chance of bruising when inserting dermal fillers. However, an expert injector who’s comfortable and experienced using needles can get results that are just as good. That’s why the most important part of your job, when considering any kind of cosmetic or medical procedure, is to find the absolute best doctor. Ask to see your doctor’s before-and-afters or talk to a few of her patients, if you need to. Taking your time consulting with board-certified dermatologists to find the best one ultimately saves you time and money.

Eyelid filler injection using needle is very safe but it would depend on the injector's preference and comfort level. 

This will be due to your practitioner's preference. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit swelling and/or bruising. Keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer
