I was having a procedure done in hospital so the nurse put lidocaine on skin before IV was put in. My skin got red and itched and inflamed told her must be allergic she said no one is allergic to lidocaine. Told the anesthesiologist he said your probably allergic to the preservatives in lidocaine, I will inject you with both while your under and see. He was right. My question is can I still get fillers? I have been reading up and a lot of them have lidocaine in them.

Answer: Lidocaine allergy 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.

Answer: Injectable Fillers Yes, simply have your physician order your filler without Lidocaine. You might feel it a little more, but use ice before and after to help with numbing. Good luck!
