I'm a big baby I don't like pain, I've wanted lips for a year now and I'm finally going to face my fears and get over it. My mom has Restylane done to her lips and she said it hurt very badly. She did have a dental block, but it still hurt. I have asked myself over and over. Am I willing to go under that bit of pain to look better? I've had a nose job, the only pain I had was when the dr was removing my cast, I cried, but I got over it.

Answer: Pain with lip injections The lips are probably the most sensitive area to inject dermal fillers. Pain and sensitivity can be improved with numbing cream or injection lidocaine in nerve blocks. The product itself also contained lidocaine. Sometimes icing before and in-between injections helps as well. If you have had a rhinoplasty before the good news is recover from a lip injection is much quicker. Unfortunately it is difficult to avoid a small amount of pain during the nerve blocks or the injection itself. Good luck.

Answer: How painful are Restylane injections? Most filler injections are well-tolerated in the office with just a small amount of numbing cream (no numbing at all in some patients, depending on the area). When injecting the lips, we will often perform a dental block to ease the discomfort, but otherwise, a little topical numbing cream is usually adequate. There is still a slight amount of discomfort for some patients, but most everyone does quite well.

Answer: Restylane Injection Pain The majority of my patients have not required a dental block and have tolerated Restylane injections well with out any type of anesthetic besides the lidocaine that is already mixed in with the product in the syringe. Many find that a topical anesthetic cream can reduce the discomfort of the injections and cold packs applied immediately prior to injection also help to minimize the discomfort. Once the product is injected, the lidocaine starts numbing the area. Although you will feel some needle pokes, most people find that once they go through their initial injectable experience, they now know what to expect and are not as intimidated with future injections.
