I have been doing research on lip fillers and I am interested in getting Juvederm lip fillers and I have heard that the use of a cannula needle is actually better for injections because it doesn't require as many injections sites and it doesn't cause a lot of bruising and swelling as other methods. Is this a factual statement? If an office does not offer this, what would be the next best option to have minimal bruising and swelling after injections?

Answer: Cannula Needles. Are they better to use for lip fillers? The honest answer is that it really makes no difference. The important thing is to choose an injector that you trust. Whether they use a needle or cannula doesn't matter, each injector will have a technique that works better in their hands but overall neither needle or cannula is superior across the board. Hope that helps!

Answer: Cannula or Straight Needle For Juvederm Lip Injections Beckluv552 Thank you for your questions. The cosmetic surgeon's artistry and skill trump their choice of needle. YES cannulas especially for the lip have the advantage of less puncture points and thus less bleeding. But this is at the price of a decreased ability of placement at "perfect " angles ( Many of my colleagues will state this is not a problem in their hands) that stated I use a combination of both cannulas and straight needles to get the best outcome for my clients. Arnica, sinnech brand, can be used to decrease bruising.
