Filler option that is lidocaine free for chin and cheeks? (photo)

Question

I am 47. Have been getting juvederm for last five years. I had issues with numbing cream (lido 15/5), Namely got pounding slow heart feeling for hours after so my cosmetic surgeon began using the lido free juvederm to fill marionette lines. The doc now says galderma will stop making the lido free option. I would like my cheeks filled or chin, whatever will help with the major drooping i am seeing. But I don't know what lido free options I have or what exactly I need to help.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Both Galderma (restylane) and Allergan (juvederm) companies create fillers without lidocaine, as does other dermal filler companies.  Your injector should have a number of available options for you.  Hope this helps.

Yes, you can have a filler procedure without lidocaine. Restylane and Restylane Lyft are available without lidocaine. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with a chin filler procedure. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Both Allergan (the makers of Juvederm) and Galderma (the makers of Restylane) make lidocaine free syringes. In addition, Sculptra would be a great alternative for you as you could have it injected without mixing it with any lidocaine. Please consult an expert in cosmetic fillers for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your excellent question and for sharing your photograph.  Both Juvederm and Restylane are available in lidocaine free options.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

I believe that the galderma products like restylane can be obtained without lidocaine, but lidocaine will not usually cause what you described.
