Cold Hands Embalming Tip of the Week: Use 50 Cav to Hypo Inject Facial Lacerations Before Cosmetizing
Post mortem facial restoration doesn’t have to be intimidating when you understand what chemicals? to use and how. FULL preservation and adequate firming and bleaching are essential to success before applying cosmetics.
I try to use a small-medium sized needle such as a 22 gauge and I always use eye
protection and a face shield or respirator when using cavity chemicals ? for
hypo injection.
Pro tip: ⚰️?Allow the chemicals time
to preserve and firm overnight. This technique requires patience and time for proteins to coagulate before applying cosmetics
can done successfully. A little goes a long way but make sure to fully saturate the defected area. Remember, it’s an ART and a SCIENCE!
Hope you like this weeks Embalming Tip on restorative art! Until next week….Happy Embalming ?⚰️
