Should I take Tylenol instead of Advil for my severe pain before filler injections?

Asked By:question2017 in Calabasas, CA

I will be having juviderm injected in my marionette folds for the first time. I also suffer with endometriosis and am on strong ibuprofen two weeks out of a month. I know we can't take NSAIDs before injections. How about acetaminophen? Is that safe to take before injections?
