I am in my 50's now & decided to go to this particular Dr. for my first time ever to get my lines around my mouth freshened up. I feel after reading these reviews how important it is to let people know as I had what I felt an awful moment, I never thought about it but I was not asked if I was allergic to anything & at the time I did not know this but I am allergic to lidocaine. I was brought in to his room where he does his fillers I assume as I said my first time, I am asked to sign something but not quite sure but I had to prepay which I did, as Dr. Yu came into the room after I paid of course & not knowing this person very well I was very nervous. Being a man I was told women handle pain much better then men well that made me more nervous knowing this was going to hurt. He said we will numb the areas with Lidocaine, I was a bit relieved but this hurt as I was numbing my heart began to race he said relax your just nervous, he got one shot in of the filler & I felt like I was about to vomit Him & his nurse laughed as my head was spinning, I thought to myself I am having a full on panic attack. They just stood there I had to stop the pain & my heart beating out of my chest was enough to tell me to stop! I had go lay down in one of the rooms I felt awful.
I could not finish my filler $2,000.00 down the drain but one thing that did bother me most is no follow up call to make sure I was ok I walked out of Mr. Yu office without any of my money back no thank you actually he was with another patient as I left. I found out from another Dr. That I have a condition that makes me very sensitive to certain drugs & lidocaine is one of them. Perhaps this should be a question to patients it can't hurt to ask. Instead of assuming because I am a man that I cannot tolerate pain like a women & think its funny ask this question. Some people do not know & just asking can possibly save a life, this was why my heart was beating out of my chest, while my face turned gray not that I could not handle pain & why did it hurt so bad? The money is a small issue its my life that is important as well as other peoples.
