LIP FILLERS NEWPORT BEACH

---

Lips are one of the most sensitive areas in the body and with techniques to alleviate pain and with technique, lip injections are one the most common cosmetic procedures and are well tolerated. Lip fillers are injected superficially and contain numbing medicine lidocaine added.. Topical numbing cream, GATE or distraction techniques and in rare cases oral block may be used to help with the procedure.

Dr. Katneni will provide a thorough consultation of your lip anatomy and suggest the right filler choice for you and discuss options with you. 

Numbing cream may be used although does not provide complete numbing as injections are underneath the skin and superficial, best to use the numbing medication that is prefilled in the syringe.  

Oral block may be used although the block itself may cause more discomfort.  Oral block has the same numbing medicine as the pre filled numbing in the syringe.

Some bruising and discomfort after procedure may be seen. Follow post dermal filler instructions.
