text: The last time I did lip injections prior to seeing Dr York at In Shape MD was very painful The doctor I previously went to did not give me a dental block and instead numbed my lips with a topical numbing solution and proceeded with injecting Needless to say it was very painful the topical numbing gel did not do what I thought it would and I vowed to NEVER do it againnnSo four years later I muster up the courage to give it a try again nnThis past Wednesday I visited In Shape MD and I spoke with Dr Shannon York about my concerns with lip injections and the last experience I had Dr York was understanding and very sensitive to my concerns and based on my history she suggested I get a dental block to numb the entire site I agreed to give it a try again and as you know if you have been to a dentist and had a dental block you CANNOT feel a thingnnI spent a good minutes in the chair with Dr York as she was administering a dental block Dr York was very compassionate and extremely gentle in administering the shots Given my history she wanted to make sure I was as comfortable as could be at all times and she took her time After the dental block set in she started administering the lip injections and I was so pleased because I could not feel a thing The procedure took about minutes and by that time the dental block was starting to break thank goodness because I did not want to walk around for hours with a numb face Within two hours I had complete feeling again and very minimal discomfort around the injection sitennI would highly recommend visiting In Shape MD if you are considering any type of noninvasive cosmetic procedures because Dr York is a wonderful and very compassionate It is been about a week since my lip injections and I could not be happier with the look The swelling is pretty much gone and my lips look great nnI am looking forward to visiting In Shape MD again for other cosmetic procedures P
