Lips – one of the most important facial features, and young, plump, full lips – this is what many patients strive for. Lip augmentation has gained momentum in recent years and is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures.
Successful natural lip augmentation requires correct proportioning of the patient's face in order to establish which lip shape will best match their other facial features. There is no one technique that is right for every lip, and each practitioner has their own unique treatment approach to achieve the desired results.
As for current trends, the use of cannula for lip augmentation has become more popular, about the technique of lip correction using a cannula, read in an interview on estet-portal.com with dermatocosmetologist, doctor at the American Medical Center clinic , who is in private practice at Chymber Kateryna Aethetic Medicine by Ekaterina Chimber.
Benefits of Cannula Lip Augmentation
In recent years it has been found that lip augmentation with cannulas results in significantly less bruising and is less painful. In this regard, lip augmentation with a cannula is gaining popularity among doctors and patients.
The cannula is easier to handle because:
• the doctor needs to make fewer entry points when working with the cannula. This makes the procedure more comfortable for the patient. Associated with this is also a shorter recovery period, which means patients can return to work more quickly;
• The safety profile of the cannula is considered to be superior to that of the needle, as the blunt end is more likely to slip past the vessel, reducing the risk of bruising;
• when using the cannula, the practitioner may feel resistance from the structures it passes through. This allows clearly define the direction of the cannula, as well as the plane in which it is located.
The perioral area is very vascular, potentially increasing the risk of bruising and edema.
During lip contouring using a cannula, it is very important to choose a high-quality dermal filler that will provide a pronounced and long-term effect.

Tips for successful lip augmentation with cannula
A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the treated area is essential for any successful aesthetic procedure.
In the treatment of the perioral zone, it is vital to know the position and depth of the inferior and superior labial arteries. However, each patient has different anatomy, so it is important to determine the position of the arteries prior to treatment by palpation prior to injection.
As with any procedure that involves trauma to the skin, needle and cannula contouring has risks of infection. In addition, the perioral area has a higher risk of bacterial load than other areas of the face, so it is important to make sure that the field you are working in is as clean as possible.
It is very important to use the correct size and length of cannula. Too thin a cannula will behave like a needle, the best choice — 38 mm cannula, which is slightly longer than the standard needle.
The38mm cannula is less likely to puncture a vessel and is also long enough to reach the midline of the perioral region or lip on each side when entering from the corner of the mouth.
The length of the cannula does not greatly affect safety, as its blunt tip, combined with greater flexibility, allows the cannula to glide into the dermis.
The cannula entry point is usually located at the corners of the mouth. Juvederm

The drug can be injected both antero- and retrograde, however, anterograde injection of the filler facilitates the advancement of the cannula and makes the procedure more comfortable for the patient. cannula too deep into the subcutaneous fat, it will literally slide into it if the cannula is too superficial — then it will move with difficulty.
You will know you are in the correct plane when the cannula advances effortlessly, without pain or at least some discomfort to the patient.
After injecting the drug, it is necessary to control the distribution of the drug with a light massage.
