Am I making it up when I say that with a micro cannula the injector can release the filler in more consistent streams instread of individual blobs?
No you\'re not, but to be clear the filler diffuses in this area anyway (regardless of whether injected in blobs or thin lines), even with Voluma, so it\'s irrelevant.
In the cheeks it wouldn\'t move about.
Surely you understand the most attractive part of HA is it\'s safety profile and therefore patients want to know you are doing everything you possibly can to make it as safe as humanly possible. Can you honestly say you are doing that?
Juvederm is supplied with a 27G needle in the packet. Millions of injections of HA using 27G needles occur each year in areas more likely to experience problems of the sort you identify (the face - leaving out DDV). I say we focus on risks that are higher than almost inconceivably small. Do you think micro cannula inserted deep is riskier than a needle injected shallow through semi transparent skin, we do at this stage. To come to your way of thinking, it would not be unreasonable to use a micro cannula, injecting shallow.
No skirting around the question, hand on

which do you think is safer out of a micro cannula and a needle?
I see more bruising and swelling on patients after micro cannula. It is harder to directly access areas needing more filler with a micro cannula in repeat visits. But it is a moot point. A micro cannula can be used. I am not going to request surgeons to inject in a certain way because a forum member has suggested it, regardless of his status. I don\'t doubt you probably have a wider knowledge base on this subject than many urologists, but on a narrowly defined topic I am not certain . I am waiting for Dr. O, to be honest, and hope he gives a full detailed account of what he is doing. If it proves safer, then we all progress.
Do you think in the video posted Dr Horn is taking sufficient time to ensure he hasn\'t hit a vessel before injecting and if so why. I can show you several other training videos where the instructors all express the importance of that step.
What I can tell you is that the doctors can see blood vessels very clearly in this thin skin, under lighting. The training videos are likely in relation to the face?
Also in 6 years of being on the forum I\'ve only ever advised one person to get PMMA and that was SO. I get asked my opinion on what procedures guys should have a daily basis to put that is perspective.
Statement withdrawn.
