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?
Answer: Juvederm You can receive Juvederm injections without numbing agent. I have many patients who prefer not to be numbed. Pain tolerances differ from person to person. Good luck!

Answer: Lip filler without numbing injection Thanks for your question. There is no connection between long QT and lidocaine. You may consider getting another opinion from a cardiologist on that issue. ( I checked with a cardiologist.) You can safely use lidocaine - it takes very little lidocaine for such a procedure. The lip augmentation procedure will be much more comfortable with topical anesthetic or anesthetic injection for nerve blocks. Nonetheless, I have patients who are not interested in numbing for lip filler injections because they tolerate dental procedures well without numbing. I have injected fillers in the lips without any aesthetic if patients request that. Applying an icepack before injection can provide some pain relief. You can also take Tylenol 90 min beforehand to reduce the pain.
