In my practice, all Injectable Filler procedures (including lip augmentation) are performed with topical anesthetic, and this is well-tolerated by nearly all of my patients. You may want to ask your physician for a mild anxiolytic to be taken orally before your procedure, as long as you have a...

There is only one article from Korea on this medication used for melasma. It has not been used commonly to treat melasma and there is little experience on its use for this indication.  From your symptoms I would recommend that you be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
