This is me with numbing cream on my lips, and there are few sensations as bizarre as having your lips numbed. Prepare to drool and, whatever you do, don't swallow any of the cream if it gets into your mouth (I learned this the hard way and, soon enough, my tongue was completely numb for about 45 minutes). Try your best to wait until your doctor thoroughly cleanses your lips of the numbing cream and spit it out.
