Can I choose to have a filler without a local anaesthetic for a Chin filler procedure?

March 14, 2017
Asked By:Julian86 in New York, NY

I am aware fillers come included with anaesthesia inside them, but i am considering getting a filler without anaesthesia included inside it. That means i would prefer not to have any anaesthesia at all or any numbing cream either. I have a pretty good pain threshold but i would love to know from those who are more experienced than myself on whether going 'raw' is advised for this sort of procedure. I just personally hate the feeling of the anaesthesia effect and would prefer to avoid it!
