The : The risk of numbness depends on what type of augmentation you're having. Using a filler is unlikely to cause permanent numbness. More permanent treatment may have an increased risk; talk with your surgeon about the specific risks of the procedure you want to have.

You : You may have soem temporary numbness from the swelling or the block that the surgeon did to do the procedure but this should go away in short order.www.beautybybrueck.com.
