Will lip fillers have a tolerable pain level if I go without lidocaine?

Asked By:Compassionate9308 in Santa Monica, California

Hi! Last time I got lip filler, I had a bad reaction to the lidocaine numbing cream. I think I swallowed too much and my throat was numb and I was really uncomfortable - almost choking. I would like to go without the lidocaine this time. My injector does not have any other numbing products in her practice. Will it be tolerable to go without the lidocaine? Thank you!
