Awesome video! Does the doc have to adjust the angles when the skin is raised with the tumescence?

Tumescence is pretty amazing the way it lifts and hardens the area during surgery, it is great at minimising bleeding and making incision sites easier to create. Getting the angles right for hairlines is very important to produce a natural flowing look. Thanks for adding this video as it will help patients understand the importance of hair direction.

Cool and interesting to see the skin bulging out when injected. Does it make the skin go rock hard?
