Can you get juvederm or any lip filler without the use of any lidocaine/numbing agent?

I have long QT syndrome so I am advised to stay away from lidocaine. There are no issues with hyaluronic acid though. I have extreme pain tolerance, as I am a cancer survivor and have had many skin tissue biopsies/lip biopsies without any lidocaine or numbing agent. Finding a doctor willing may be a challenge though, has anyone had a patient like this?
