Anterior Midface Volumization: Intermediate Cannula Technique

Anterior Midface Volumization: Intermediate Cannula Technique

Red background

Overview

In this video you will learn about the three different fat layers of the medial midface: superficial, intermediate, and deep. In the past, the intermediate fatty layer was not well characterized and therefore, no dedicated injection technique was available to restore the lost volume from this fat layer. The novel cannula-based injection technique for the intermediate fatty layer is demonstrated which will empower every injector to develop a different view when addressing volume loss of the medial midface.
