Anesthetics options
Let’s start with Topical options first. These are agents like creams- for example, numbing creams that are applied over the lips prior to lip filler placement.
Risks
Everything in life has a risk. But, it’s important to know what those risks are, and make calculated decisions.
When it comes to anesthesia, we like to minimize those risks as much as possible. But even then, some risks are more common than others.
The most common risks include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Damage to the teeth
- Lip laceration
Less common than that is nerve injury from patient positioning and allergic reactions.
We take EVERY possible precaution to ensure your safety. For that reason, I only use board certified anesthesiologists!
