Lip Injections: Cannula or Regular Needle?

Hello. As a cosmetic dermatologist, I find that each patient is unique and some are more suited to filling the lips using a cannula, while others may be better suited to a regular, small gauged needle.To decrease the risk of bruising, I usually apply a topical anaesthetic mixed with a vasoconstrictor agent prior to injections.Hope this helps.

I think its a matter of preference, but really the end result is secondary to the injector's technique and experience. I typically use a needle in my practice and am happy with the results.
