Overview
The classic cannula injection technique for the tear trough follows a dermal access from the midface. Recent research studies have indicated that an injection approach coming from lateral i.e. inserting the cannula into the SOOF and advancing medially into the tear trough can deliver great if not superior outcomes. In this video, the deep cannula technique with a lateral injection approach is simulated.
