Painless procedures? Yes please
I have absolutely no pain threshold at all, all of my colleagues will confirm! 😬😂
I like to do as much as we can for patients to minimise discomfort and through utilising my background in anaesthetics, I frequently perform nerve blocks in the face to dramatically improve comfort.
The infraorbital nerve is blocked using a very small injection in the midface which reduces sensation in the area above for about 30-60 minutes. This allows for comfortable procedures and combination sessions involving the under eyes, midface and lips.
While definitely not required for procedures, for people who struggle with injectables (like me) it’s a total game changer.
Would you have a nerve block? Or have you had one? Let me know in the comments ⬇️
