Lip augmentation requires a meticulous process, and regional nerve block ensures the precision I want and the utmost patient comfort during injection.
Is filler injection painful?
If the filler is injected deep, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Tear-through or any other superficial filler injection using a blunt cannula is not very painful either. While lip filler can be painful, most practitioners choose to reduce this pain with creams containing local anesthetic and fillers containing local anesthetics. I apply lip filler after applying a regional nerve block, ensuring complete surgical-grade numbness. This way, I achieve both complete patient comfort and the opportunity for highly precise application.
