| - 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 didn't do what I thought it would, and I vowed to NEVER do it again.
So, four years later, I muster up the courage to give it a try again...
This 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've been to a dentist and had a dental block, you CAN'T feel a thing.
I spent a good 20 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 45 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 site.
I would highly recommend visiting In Shape MD if you're considering any type of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, because Dr. York is a wonderful and very compassionate. It's been about a week since my lip injections, and I couldn't be happier with the look. The swelling is pretty much 100% gone and my lips look great.
I am looking forward to visiting In Shape MD again for other cosmetic procedures. :P
