Correct Cannula Insertion Technique. The best method to insert a cannula.

So often I see clinicians inserting cannulas too roughly, harshly or making too many insertions. All of this causes unnecessary trauma for the patient.
In this video I share my tried and tested method for inserting a cannula that will improve your stability and technique, reduce the risk of trauma & bruising for your patient, and ultimately make your life much easier as an injector!

[@rashidmahmood9396]

Dr Pearce your contribution towards teaching us and making us wise to handle cases in such an easy understable way is really praiseworthy. Thank you so much 💓

[@caitlin4176]

I am so glad you posted this video. I see far too many clinicians causing more trauma than necessary with cannulas! Let's remember the reason we use cannulas to begin with lol

[@dr.kamleshmaywad8636]

😂agree

[@mcoale8508]

I really appreciate your video. All the techniques and tricks are the techniques I have used for years after being trained in diagnostic radiology and the "stirring"technique especially is one that made me cringe. I'm glad someone like you wants to help other injectors by posting.

Also lifting up where the tissue use to be helps... think of a curtain that has dropped and your lifting to get underneath them fill

[@gaylabrunet5122]

you are thee ONLY prince Professor of injections. I am so very thankful for you. Dont listen to the specialists. cleanse your body of parasites. its easy. get well

[@drkirstybroder1]

What about best technique to move cannula in multiple directions from a single point of access? Ie to access 4 quadrants of the cheek from a central point.

[@thetruth8053]

please, what size cannula for lips...and is aspiration required with each movement of the cannula in the lip?

[@adrianamarie4164]

i had my lips filled with a cannula once at a plastic surgeons office. i had the top dissolved a few weeks later. it felt like i had a roll of filler in my top lip. i am wondering your thoughts on when a person doesnt necessarily want a ton of volume, but rather just more crisp borders and definition and lip height. wouldn't a needle deliver better results in those instances? I dont feel like i was listened to for what i wanted and was just injected in a generic manner that he must just inject everyone with. it was a huge disappointment.

[@thetruth8053]

I think the cannula lets more material through

[@creativemindloveworks]

can Eye damage be avoid with lip fillers/this technic? thank you!

[@thetruth8053]

he don't talk about aspiration with the cannula, so it's hard to say

[@MagicWandProductions]

Would sterile KY jelly be helpful for a cannula to ease its way through?

[@shee3073]

Every time I’ve had a cannula technique insertion of filler I have way more downtime, bruising, swelling. Which is confusing because I’ve heard it’s supposed to reduce those things.

[@DrTimPearce]

You do need to be gentle, or it's worse

[@thetruth8053]

and how did you numbing patient,for cannula ....? dental block or just numbing cream? and if the cream, was it enough?

[@karenwalker4476]

What is the name of that fake head you’re practicing on?

[@abbygodfrey3282]

What guage is your pilot needle? And then your preferred cannula?

[@HelloOki]

The first time I got filler my injector stuffed this up because he was busy talking not being mindful and was jabbing my face about 20 times painfully because he lost the hole. I don't like this technique at all
