Does lip filler hurt?

Most patients find lip filler very tolerable. Juvéderm Ultra XC® contains lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent, which helps minimize discomfort as the filler is placed. You may feel a quick pinch or pressure with each injection, but the sensation fades quickly, and numbing cream can be applied before treatment if you'd like an extra layer of comfort.


Do I have to numb before treatment?

Numbing is optional, but many patients choose it for added comfort--especially for their first appointment.

What does it feel like during the injections?

Most patients describe it as a brief pressure or pinch rather than pain, and it eases almost immediately.

Is there soreness afterward?

You may feel a little tender or full in the lips for a day or two, which is normal and temporary.
