Wondering how long the entire injection process should take for a tiny amount of juvederm in my lips?

Question

Less than half a syringe total. Only a tiny amount to add volume to my pout. Very nervous about the pain and want to know how long I can anticipate the process to take

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

From the start till the end of the appointment it will take approximately 30 mins.  It is common for a numbing agent to be applied topically to the lips prior to injections for additional comfort.  Best of luck

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

The actual time it takes to inject your lips does not take long at all and should not be overly painful with an experienced injector. Numbing cream, ice packs and injecting with a small needle will all help to reduce any discomfort and anxiety. Juvederm products contain lidocaine which also helps to alleviate pain.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

The actual injection process of half a syringe to your lips should take less than 5 minutes on average. Juvederm Ultra XC has numbing medication inside the syringe which will help make it more comfortable for you. Ice and topical numbing creams can also be used to make the experience more comfortable. Best of luck to you!

I understand your concern as you are expecting to have juvederm injection. From start to finish including the process of consulting with the nurses and doctors, the whole process should take about 20 minutes. The injection shouldn't take no more than a couple seconds, but when you go in to see a doctor - the process of talking and filling out paperwork, expect to take out an hour from whatever you are doing!Hope this helps and wish you all the best with your Juvederm results!Boris Cosmetic

When I do this area with a tiny
bit it takes less than a minute. We use special  ice packs but we can
actually do a nerve block like the dentist does to completely numb the area.
Having said this, most everyone tolerates it just with the ice and thinks it’s
much easier than they anticipated it would be.

For that small amount should take less than 15 minutes.If one injects slowly it actually hurts less.Many modern fillers have a novacaine like med mixed in with it designed to make the process more comfortable.Finally if you prefer,your doctor can do an infraorbital nerve block with lidocaine and it will entirely numb the lip in a matter of seconds.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Well, Juvederm has a numbing agent in the product so the pain should be minimal. Plus, some doctors still also pre-numb the area too with a block. So pain should be really minimal. The process takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes, followed by icing. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
