Dr. Shervin Naderi demonstrates his Naderi 11-Fill technique for deep forehead lines using hyaluronic acid filler. He injects vertically down to bone with ultra-small droplets while pulling back, avoiding blood vessels without aspiration. The method relies on precise thumb control and changing the needle frequently to keep it sharp.
Fillers to this 11 mark. So if you come up here, you'll see this better from this angle.
So if you look over here, you can see how that line forms, right? We can do all the Botox in the world, but that line itself needs to have something further done. I'm going to show you my technique for filler, and you'll see my technique on that. A lot of injectors are afraid to inject the deep furrows here, and rightfully so. I've talked about this before. There's blood vessels that come in this direction, and if you cannulate those blood vessels, You'll have vascular occlusion in this area, but if you follow my technique, it's very safe. I'm gonna show you that, how that's done.
So I start off by prepping, priming the needle. I wanna get a little bit of filler to come out of the needle.
Okay, so it's a vertical injection. The Naderi 11 fill is a vertical injection all the way down to the bone. I am touching bone, I'm on top of bone, I'm feeling the bone. I'm injecting retrograde, pulling back. And then massaging, and it's micro droplets down to the bone. Inject retrograde, pull up, smooth it out. Down to the bone, feel the bone, inject retrograde, pull up, massage it out. It's never this way ever, and never in midpoint. It's always on top of bone. The needle tends to sometimes dull out because I'm hitting bone to confirm it. So you may have to change the needle after a few pokes. I will guarantee you, as a facial plastic surgeon who's done brow lifts, forehead lifts, facial reconstruction, there is no blood vessel in this area sitting on top of the bone. I've seen Instagram commentators be like, but you didn't, you didn't aspirate, how dare you inject without Pulling back. And I'll tell you, it's because we know the technique and there's no reason to aspirate in this area. It's a vertical injection right down to the bone and always retrograde. I talk a lot about the benefits of anterograde injection by pushing blood vessels, little blood vessels out of the way. This is a situation that you're not going to do that. It's going to be retrograde. So it's true microdroplet. How many times did I poke her? Did you count how many times, Heather, I poked you? You counting? About 12. 12? Okay. Now let's look at the needle, the syringe. How much did it move? Like not even 0.05. I mean, just that's how little it is. It's literally microdroplets. So you have to have incredible control over your thumb. You cannot put it in there and just like squeeze it. You have to have crazy control over your thumb and not overfill. So you try and do this and it just doesn't— that line doesn't crack anymore.
Yeah, that's awesome. Wow, that's amazing. Looks so cute, so pretty. Wow.
