No : Lidocaine is a local anesthetic used to "numb" an area of the body prior to a procedure. The drug is relatively short acting.

No: Lidocaine like other local anesthetic agents are intended to numb the area allowing for the treatment to be performed. It's short lasting and does not alter any facial features. While numb it might feel strange when you speak or smile, but it goes away relatively quickly. Hope this helps.
