Is it ok to take ibuprofen a couple times a day the entire week leading up to your lip filler appointment?

Asked By:ochiexx in Brooklyn, NY

I started taking birth control for the first time and as a result I’ve had my period for almost 3 weeks now with very painful cramps the entire time. I wanted to start taking ibuprofen today to help with the bloating and cramps but I have a lip filler appointment for just half a syringe in 6 days and was wondering if it would be a bad idea to take ibuprofen this much leading up to my appointment.
