Is there a shortage of lidocaine?

Asked By:addybear96 in Carrollton, Texas

Hi, I was wondering if there’s currently a shortage on lidocaine. I had recently had lipo done in June and there’s a spot that the surgeon missed and during my last checkup he said he could fix the small area of concern for cheap. Well I just received a text saying there’s a shortage in lidocaine and that they won’t know the ETA on when they’ll receive it. So I’m bummed and I’m not sure if I’m being told the truth or if he just doesn’t want to do it since he offered it super cheap.
