Micro-Cannulas for Lip Enhancement. Do They Produce Better Results?

I currently utilize microcannulas for most of my facial injections.  I especially enjoy using them for correcting lower eyelid tear trough deformities.  I do also utilize the microcannulas for lip enhancement.  It does require some finesse and it is important to find an injector who is quite comfortable with these techniques.  It definitely is beneficial to avoid any bruising that  may occur when using sharp needles.

Lip enhancement is as much of an art as it is a science.  In my experience, I find that using a small gauge needle provides excellent natural looking results.  It’s important to select a surgeon who understands the natural arch and anatomy of the lips to provide the most natural inviting look.  Adding the micro-cannulas does not improve anyone’s technique, however the manufacturers state that it may minimize bruising.  Nevertheless, anytime you are piercing the skin with a needle you have the opportunity for redness, swelling and bruising.
