Cold Hands Embalming Tip of the Week: Use 50 Cav to Hypo Inject Facial Lacerations Before Cosmetizing

Post mortem facial ๐Ÿ’€ restoration doesnโ€™t have to be intimidating when you understand what chemicals๐Ÿงช 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 ๐Ÿ’‰ such as a 22 gauge and I always use eye ๐Ÿ‘ protection and a face shield or respirator when using cavity chemicals ๐Ÿงช for ๐Ÿ’‰ hypo injection.
Pro tip: โšฐ๏ธ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘‰Allow the chemicals time โฐ to preserve and firm overnight. This technique requires patience and time for proteins to coagulate before applying cosmetics ๐Ÿ’„ can done successfully. A little goes a long way but make sure to fully saturate the defected area. Remember, itโ€™s an ART and a SCIENCE!
