Have you ever wondered why I sometimes use this long, flexible tool during filler treatments?

It is called a microcannula. Unlike a traditional needle, it has a rounded tip with a tiny opening near the side. Once a small entry point is created, the cannula can reach a broader area with fewer punctures and may result in less bruising in certain treatments.

That does not mean a cannula is always the better choice or completely free of risk. Needles provide precision, while cannulas allow broader placement. I choose between them based on the anatomy, treatment area, product, and result I am trying to create.

Did you know filler could be placed this way?

Hi, I’m Iris. I’ve been injecting since 2001, which means I’ve had the privilege of watching this industry change A LOT.

My approach has changed with it, but one thing hasn’t: I’ve never wanted my work to walk into the room before my patient does.

I love natural facial balancing, under-eyes, filler correction, ultrasound, Sculptra and figuring out the why behind something before deciding how to treat it.

And sometimes the best treatment plan is me telling you that you don’t need anything at all.

If you’re new here, welcome. 🩷 And if you’ve been sitting in my chair for years, thank you for trusting me with your face. It never stops being a big deal to me.

Now tell me, how long have you been here? 👇

That little smile when she sees her new lips for the first time. 🥹👄

A little more shape. A little more definition. Still completely her.

Video taken immediately after treatment. Individual results vary. Always consult with an experienced and qualified professional. Patient permission to post was obtained. Restylane Kysse was administered into upper and lower lip using three techniques.

A full schedule should never feel rushed to the person sitting in my chair.

Before patient number one, Graycie and I have already reviewed the day, reset the room, restocked supplies, and thought through each patient’s anatomy, history, and treatment plan.

Some patients need extra assessment. Some need more time. And sometimes the lunch meeting gets cut short because patients come first.

The injections are what you see. The planning, preparation, and teamwork are what make a busy day feel calm.

And yes, Graycie deserves A LOT of the credit. She keeps me organized, stocked, and sane. 🤍

Would you want a Part 2 showing what happens once the patients start arriving?

Ever wonder why your lips won’t stay exactly how they looked the moment you left your appointment? You’re not alone. 👄

Some of that extra fullness and crisp definition immediately after filler is swelling. As it settles, the lips soften into their healed result.

Your filler didn’t disappear. The swelling did.

And honestly, chasing that initial swollen look is how even the most conservative patients can slowly end up overfilled.

Those ultra-full, perfectly crisp lips you see on Instagram may look beautiful, but they are often freshly injected, swollen or edited. They are not always an attainable healed result.

Stop judging lip filler by the immediate after photo. Ask to see your injector’s fully-healed work.
