Deep fat compartments and facial bones lose volume during the natural aging process. For the most natural-looking results, deep volumetric injections at strategic sites are therefore preferred. Supraperiosteal place- ment is performed with a sharp needle or a non-traumatic cannula. Objectives:  The primary objective was to determine whether there is a difference in precision between supraperiosteal placement with a sharp nee- dle compared with a non-traumatic cannula in c Less
