Lip Dermal Filler for Fuller Lips and Enhancment

Many of my patients who have been with me for many years have witnessed the revolution in techniques that I have developed for injectable fillers.  Early on Dr Patel started with rudimentary needle injections.  He then progressed to larger cannulas that adapted from fat grafting and that required regional nerve blocks so that there would not be discomfort.  However, this led to more swelling and also was not as precise since the block would limit my ability to read the face.  Dr Pael then switched back over to needles using a “depot” method in which the product was carefully placed as a bleb then massaged into place so that there would be less bruising and swelling.

Microcannulas have revolutionized injection of facial cosmetic fillers/injectables

 

Since November of 2010, Dr Patel started to use small French microcannulas that have literally changed my entire practice of filler injections.

Over the past 8 months, I have truly created new and better ways to do advanced injections including initially injecting the temples with these cannulas starting in March of this year followed by techniques for filling brows (which almost no patient understands why I want to do this but is typically followed by an “Oh my God, I look good” exclamation as soon as I do it.) 

Then recently I have started using Japanese microcannulas that allow me to pass the much thicker Radiesse product exactly as I have done for Restylane, as mentioned above.  I am very happy to report my patient satisfaction has shot through the roof, along with my own satisfaction of the results.
