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.
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.
