Maybe a little. Most patients describe an injectable procedure as uncomfortable, not painful. However, every patient does experience pain differently, and the lips are a sensitive area. To combat this fact, every Juvedérm Volbella injection contains lidocaine which is a numbing medicine that helps to keep you comfortable during your treatment. I also apply a topical numbing cream and ice prior to a lip injection in order to further decrease any patient discomfort. Some patients may require a lidocaine block to help numb the area more aggressively. All of these options will be discussed with you in detail during your initial consultation.
