Anesthesia : Anesthesia for lip augmentation varies from patient to patient. Products like Restylane (dermal fillers) and juvederm have local anesthetic in them. This works well for nasolabial folds, but may not be enough for sensitive lips. Topicals can be used, but local anesthesia in the form of a nerve block is more effective. This allows you to have numb lips before the lip augmentation, making the augmentation easier for both of us.

It : It is common to use a skin filler such as Restylane (dermal fillers) or juvderm to perform lip augmentation. These products have numbing medicine pre-mixed in them. You can also have topical numbing gel or a numbing injection placed as well depending on your preferences.

Dental block: I like performing an intraoral dental block numbing the nerves that supply innervation to the lip making the procedure painless.

See below: The surgeon will provide local anesthesia, and possibly some sedation, before the procedure. However, this is a minor procedure that does not require anesthesia.
