What kind of anesthesia is used during lip augmentation?

Fillers contain anesthetic in the filler itself to numb the area and minimize discomfort. Topical anesthetic cream or ice can be applied to the area to be treated. Dr. Zemplenyi also uses a vibratory anesthetic device to decrease pain sensation.

If fat transfer is used for lip augmentation, local anesthesia is used in the area from which the fat is gathered and around the lip for comfort during the fat injection.

For permanent lip augmentation, local anesthetic is injected around the lip to numb the area during insertion of the augmenting material.

Dr. Z is amazing! He helped to eliminate scarring on my forehead that no one else I consulted with seemed to have an answer for (unless I wanted to fly to NJ!). I've gone to him for various maintenance treatments through the years, and he's very honest, if he thinks something is not needed he will explain in great detail why. Beyond that, he's extremely personable, professional, and gets my highest recommendation!

I want to start by thanking Dr. Z. He is a very authentic, down to earth man and an amazing surgeon. He performed otoplasty on my right ear so it would match my left ear and it turned out great!

James Rubino

Dr. Z is a role model of doctors. He genuinely cares about his patients and gives you the information straight with care and humor. He personally calls to check up on you and is super accessible. And most importantly, his work is flawless!

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.

if thereâ€™s one place to get any sort of work done on you itâ€™s here. dr. Zemplenyi was so helpful, tedious, and understanding when it came to my lip fillers. i also loved how honest he was when it came to suggesting other work done! overall, iâ€™m really satisfied with my results!!

Dr Z is very patient and explains everything in detail, didnâ€™t get a surgery there but did do consults for face, body and he was amazing, works with you to morph the pics to show you what your end result potentially look like

So far I have only had a consultation, but highly recommend! Dr. Zemplenyi's attention to detail is superb. He thoroughly explained all aspects of such an important potential procedure and I could feel how experienced he was in the way he explained everything before I even had the chance to ask. I've seen several other doctors and he is the only one that described procedures in full detail; from where you're currently at, to what needs to happen and also the risks involved.

Highly recommend going to Ann for any botox/filler. Sheâ€™s very conservative and explains each step throughout the process which is very comforting especially for those who donâ€™t like needles. I love the shape and fullness she provided for my lips. Will definitely be back for touch ups!
