A patient asked 7 years ago

She was going to inject it along my cheeks but I couldn't finish. As soon as I felt her hit the bone with the needle I felt very warm and uncomfortable and thought I might faint. They are saving the remainder for me and I really don't want to be out $600 for nothing! Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone have any tips for getting through these injections? She told me that I can take Tylenol next time but I can't imagine that making such a huge improvement.

Making Filler Injetion Less Uncomfortable

Hi and thank you for your question! There are various options to reduce the discomfort associated with filler injection such as proper numbing, applying ice, use of vibration, etc. I also recommend using flexible micro-cannula for injection of fillers whenever possible to significantly reduce the pain and discomfort (as well as swelling and risk of complications). I hope it helps and good luck!
