Cold Hands Embalming Tip of the Week: Use 50 Cav to Hypo Inject Facial Lacerations Before Cosmetizing
Post mortem facial restoration doesnโt have to be intimidating when you understand what chemicals๐งช 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 ๐งช for
hypo injection.
Pro tip: โฐ๏ธ๐งชAllow 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, itโs an ART and a SCIENCE!
Hope you like this weeks Embalming Tip on restorative art! Until next week….Happy Embalming ๐งชโฐ๏ธ
