If I am allergic to lidocaine, can I still get a liquid face-lift?

Yes, indeed. There are two ways that you can proceed. The first is to ask the doctor to order the filler without lidocaine(xylocaine). The second option would be to do a test patch of the filler on your forearm. The lidocaine in the filler is added in a powder form so to my understanding does not contain preservative. 

Thank you for your query. You can certainly have a liquid facelift using lidocaine free fillers or have autologous fat injections under anesthesia. Also an allergy test may be helpful. Please discuss this with your Plastic surgeon who can check it out and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Hello and thank you for your question. While many filler products do contain lidocaine to make the process more comfortable for the patient, there are also numerous products that do not have this ingredient. In additional, laser treatments can be used to also enchance liquid facelifts, such as Ulthera and Thermage, and they do not require the use of lidocaine. as I recommend you visit with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist who is an expert in injectable fillers and discuss your concerns and goals. If comfort is a concern when using products without lidocaine, non-lidocaine options like icing the area before your liquid facelift can increase your comfort level.
