Very intelligent doctor; wished all doctors are caring and skilled like you are...

Omg! I’ve always wondered why all these surgeons talked about cannulas. What a revelation... This is by far the best video with clear concise explanation about the cannula and why it’s been used. Thank you so much 🙏

My ex-husband is a cosmetic surgeon. As you can imagine, I’ve had multiple procedures and surgeries over the years. This video has excellent content and the delivery is very well done. I’m very impressed with this Dr. Other doctors should take note of this man. He has a genuine, concise, and well mannered, humorous personality and his delivery is remarkable. 💕

I love that you always try to refine your approach and think critically about what you do. You're really a fantastic doctor, and your intelligence and care for your patients is extremely attractive!

Great technique. Intuitively, you can see how it is less traumatic and allows better operator control and placement of product. I've seen it on your other videos and I am looking forward to incorporating it into our methods.

Very interesting Dr. Chan,
Impressive your reasoning !!!
I'm an injector in Brazil and had never thought of so many arguments.
You are the best of the best
I will use the 27G, for sure !!!
Success for you!

Have you had filler before? Did your practitioner tell you why they used a needle or a cannula? Let us know if this video has helped you understand the advantages of a cannula.

8 Years ago I had filler injected under my eyes and had a BRAO stroke (branch retinal artery occlusion) in one eye that caused a blind spot. Fortunately, my blind spot actually improved over time. I was never told by the doctor that this was a possibility and never had under eye filler again until recently with a cannula.

I usually use cannula to inject fillers and sculptra . But sometimes 27G cannula is not easy to perform the procedure(because it is soft and the diameter is too small for some harder fillers)Beside the larger cannula, do you have any suggestion ?

[alexanderkadyntsev]

I am agree with you. I usually use 25 and 22, 23 G cannula. It is more safely than 27.

Dr. Chan, thank You very much for this great explanation. I am deeply impressed how honest and transperent You do share Your precious experience/knowledge with us.

Very interesting vidéo thank you . I have never understood how it was physically possible to penetrate artery with cannula? And also thé pain must have been unbearable, the patient didn’t react? I found on google that blindness was caused by penetrating with angle 90, and with force... Are there still doctors who could do in this way?

I stumbled across your page. I have to say that I really enjoy your content. Very informative, professional and entertaining. New subscriber!

[ginnygibson]

My question is: What factors determined that fillers are just not enough and the patient should consider surgery instead?

[monicaangelini]

as a patient I've had both and by far the canula is my prefered choice (off course if applied by a trustworthy competent doctor). The difference is in in the pós-application. Less pain, less discomfort

Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I just had my lip filler done last week and my doctor used a cannula. In terms of pain I personally think the cannula hurt more compared to the needles. My recovery time is taking longer too. That’s just my experience.
