4.4 Injection Techniques

There are various methods for injecting llers, irrespective of the type of cannula or needle used. Techniques vary based on the amount of ller, the angle of injection, and the number of insertion points. These are chosen based on the depth of the treatment area and the properties of the ller. There is a signicant difference between inject­ing large volumes into deep layers and correcting dynamic wrinkles with small amounts of ller, so it is essential to be familiar with various techniques.
• Typically, llers with high viscosity are often
used in volume sandwich techniques and tow-
ering techniques. Both are used to increase
facial volume.
• Mantoux technique, micro-puncture, and droplet methods are used to correct scars, skin wrinkles, and dynamic wrinkles.
4.4.1 Types ofInjection Techniques
4.4.1.1 Retrograde andAnterograde
Injection (Fig.4.24)
Anterograde injection involves injecting the ller as the injection tool (cannula or needle) is inserted, i.e., injecting while moving forward.
Retrograde injection, on the other hand,
involves injecting as the injection tool is with­drawn, i.e., injecting while pulling back. Retrograde injection relieves the pressure within the soft tissue caused by the ller injection. If the injection tool damages a blood vessel, bleeding can be easily identied, and the pressure during

injection decreases even if it enters a vessel, reducing the risk of vascular complications. Therefore, most physicians prefer using the retro­grade injection method.
4.4.1.2 Fan Technique (Fig.4.25a)
The fan technique is used to uniformly inject ller across a wide area while minimizing the number of insertion points. Fundamentally, the fan technique is very useful not only with can­nulas but also with needles.
4.4.1.3 Crosshatching Technique (Fig.4.25b)
Multiple insertion points are used to inject the cannula or needle at regular intervals in a parallel fashion and then re-inserted perpendicularly to inject several times parallel again. This means the injection directions cross the previous injection paths. While it has the advantage of uniform dis­tribution in one area, it has the disadvantage of potentially causing more bruising due to many insertion points.
4.4.1.4 Volumizing Injection (Fig.4.26)
Instead of multiple punctures, a large amount of ller is injected into one layer and molded to cre­ate the desired shape. Care must be taken to mold the ller into the desired shape after injection. Even if a shape is created, due to the viscoelastic nature of the ller, it can clump back together. Therefore, molding the ller by hand does not always achieve the desired shape.
4.4.1.5 Linear/Continuous Threading (Fig.4.27a, b)
The linear threading technique involves inserting a cannula or needle and then injecting ller with consistent pressure while withdrawing. The con­tinuous threading technique involves not just injecting linearly but evenly distributing small dashes of ller.
Both methods reduce the risk of vascular com­plications by using the retrograde technique rather than the anterograde technique for ller injection.

4.4.1.6 Serial Puncture (Fig.4.27c)
The serial puncture technique involves inserting the needle, injecting a small amount of ller, and then moving at regular intervals to inject in the same manner. This method is primarily used when injecting into deeper layers.
4.4.1.7 Micro-Puncture/Droplet (Fig.4.27d)
The micro-puncture/droplet technique is used for injections into the dermal or subdermal layers. These methods are utilized to inject very small amounts of ller into skin wrinkles and ne lines.
4.4.1.8 Mantoux Injection Technique
The Mantoux technique involves injecting into the dermis or just below it until the skin blanches as it does in the dermis. This method, using soft llers, is used to correct scars, skin wrinkles, and dynamic wrinkles.

4.4.1.9 Sandwich Technique
The sandwich technique involves inserting a nee­dle or cannula horizontally into the deep layers and then injecting a small amount of ller there. Subsequently, the angle is adjusted to enter the mid or supercial layers and inject another small amount of ller. Unlike the towering technique, which stacks layers by inserting the needle verti­cally, the sandwich technique uses horizontal injections to build layers.
4.4.1.10 Towering Technique (Fig.4.28)
The procedure for the towering technique is as follows: First, position the needle tip just above the periosteum. Then, slightly withdraw the nee­dle to create negative pressure before injecting the ller. Continue this process intermittently across multiple layers. When negative pressure is created, spaces form between layers, allowing the ller to stack up like a tower.

4.4.2 Techniques forInjection byArea
4.5 Basic Techniques by Area
Selection of cannulas and needles by area: A. Forehead (i) Cannula (a) The use of a cannula is recom-
mended for even distribution of ll­ers without bruising. This method takes more time and is harder to learn. Avoiding major vessels can result in a bruise-free procedure, but damage to large vessels can cause more extensive bruising.
(b) Choose 2–3 entry points and broadly
dissect the supraperiosteal area (Fig.4.29).
(c) Extra care is needed in the upper part
of the eyebrows where the supraor­bital artery and supratrochlear artery are located deeper. Press below the supraorbital rim with your ngers to prevent ller from owing into the orbital area. Ensure the cannula opening faces away from the eye dur­ing injection (Figs.4.30 and 4.31).
(ii) Needle (a) Needles are used for quicker and
easier application of forehead llers. Keep in mind that there is a relatively higher chance of bruising.
(b) Mark injection points at 1cm inter-
vals on the forehead. Inject vertically at the marked spots and inject the ller as the needle touches the bone. Use an aspiration test before inject­ing to check for intravascular
injection. B. Temporal Area (i) Cannula (a) Cannulas facilitate the injection of
ller into the subcutaneous fat layer. (b) The supercial temporal vein is
clearly visible, and the pulse of the
supercial temporal artery can be
palpated. These vessels are located
at the bottom of the subcutaneous fat
layer and are surrounded by the
supercial temporal fascia. Pinching
the soft tissue gently elevates the

deeper parts of the subcutaneous fat without raising the vessels encased in the supercial temporal fascia. If the cannula is carefully advanced into the swollen-looking subcutane­ous fat layer, the procedure can be performed without damaging the vessels (Fig.4.32). Additionally, the space between the supercial tempo­ral fascia and the deep temporal fas­cia can be utilized. Only slight resistance is felt when the cannula passes through the supercial tem­poral fascia, while the deep temporal fascia is very tough and requires signicant force to penetrate. When the cannula is located within the sub­cutaneous fat layer, moving it left and right shows the movement on the surface. However, if the cannula has passed beneath the supercial tem­poral fascia, it does not move easily left and right, and the movement is not clearly visible on the surface. Using this layer allows for treat­ments without creating a lumpy sur­face in patients with thin
subcutaneous fat. (ii) Needle (a) Needles are more convenient for
deeper injections. (b) Mark the supercial temporal vein
and artery and identify areas believed

to be free of vessels. Perform an aspiration test to ensure there is no bleeding and then perform vertical
volumizing injections (Fig.4.33). C. Nose (i) Cannula (a) After administering local anesthe-
sia, puncture the nasal tip and pro-
ceed to the nasal dorsum using a
cannula. Then use the retrograde
injection technique while with-
drawing the cannula backward
(Fig.4.34). (b) It is also possible to inject the nasal
column using the same entry point. (ii) Needle (a) For a simpler and more convenient
procedure, mark the positions where
injection is needed at 3–4mm inter-
vals and then perform vertical injec-
tions using a needle. An aspiration
test must be performed before each
injection. (b) It is safer to inject deeper than the
muscles (Fig. 4.35), so using the
pinch technique is benecial. D. Nasolabial Folds (i) Cannula (a) Using a cannula is useful when there
are depressions in the nasolabial area
but no skin creases. An entry point is
created on the extension line outside
the commissure of the mouth, and
the cannula is advanced into the area
(Fig. 4.36). This method involves
inserting the cannula in the same
direction as the facial artery, which
poses a risk of vascular accident if
the cannula enters a vessel. Some
practitioners use the cannula perpen-
dicular to the direction of the nasola-
bial folds (Fig.4.37). (b) When injecting into the nasolabial
folds, it is safe to inject into Ristow’s
space beneath the deep medial cheek
fat pad (Fig.4.38). (c) In dual-plane injections, it is possi-
ble to separate and inject just below

the dermis. However, injections within the dermal layer are not
possible. (ii) Needle (a) In cases of nasolabial fold depres-
sions accompanied by skin creases,
simultaneous use of the needle injec-

tion method is recommended. This is because correction of the dermal skin crease is only possible with a needle. Dermal injections can be made linearly along the skin crease or some perpendicular to the crease using the fern-type dermal injection method in an intersecting direction (Fig.4.39).
(b) An understanding of a safe injection
layer without blood vessels is needed.
(c) Place a nger on the expected path of
the facial artery to identify the pulse. If one can feel the pulse of the facial artery, you need to be very cautious
when treating the area. E. Indian Wrinkles Under the Eyes (i) Cannula (a) Useful when there are wide and deep
depressions in Indian wrinkles under
the eyes. (b) Proceed with the cannula to the
supraperiosteal plane through the
entry point and proceed with the can-
nula in close contact with the bone
(Fig.4.40). (c) Take care not to damage the infraor-
bital nerves and vessels as they pass
through the infraorbital foramen
(Figs.4.41 and 4.42). (d) Since the zygomatico-cutaneous lig-
ament is hard tissue, the physician

may occasionally feel strong resis-
tance when using the cannula. The
path should be changed from side to
side to nd looser tissue and then

(e) If the cannula proceeds close to the
nose, the patient may complain of
pain due to the angular artery being
irritated (Fig.4.43). (ii) Needle
1. Useful when the recessed area of the
Indian wrinkle is not wide.
2. When you want to emphasize the
zygoma area, the skill to inject ller after bone touch through vertical injection is useful.
3. In the front of the face, the deep fat
area is relatively safe. After checking the vascular path and depth, mark the area of danger. Then after inserting the needle into the deep layer, be sure to check whether the blood ows back through aspiration before injecting the ller.
