Juvederm with a Dental Block Cause More Swelling?

I am not a big fan of the dental blocks it can distort treatment areas.  Usually topicals do the trick and I use lidocaine in the products.

Having facial fillers (Juvederm,Restylane,Perlane etc) SHOULD be PAINLESS. No one, except the hopelessly uneducated and masochistic among us, should subject themselves to doctors or injectors who still subscribe to the totally unnecessary, outdated and foolish boot camp notion of "no pain - no gain" or "grin and bear it".

There are several reasons why injectors do NOT use nerve blocks. None of them take the patients' interests into account. The Doctors / injectors
-  do not know facial anatomy to do so - Not a good thing
- do not want to take the time to do so. The practice revolves around a conveyor belt model and slowing the process to increase patient comfort is just not a priority - Not a good thing
- Administering an (infraorbital) nerve blocks costs a few cents more. The time and money are just not worth it - Not a good thing.
- Patients are willing to put up with the pain and return for more.

Giving a patient a dental block (blocking the infraorbital and mental nerves) is painless. It makes the subsequent filler procedures painless and shorter and allows the patient with a hand-held mirror to supervise and participate in the treatment.

Save the ice for an adult beverage. There is NO REASON why anyone should subject themselves to ANY painful filler injections these days.
