Hi. I had my lip fillers yesterday evening. It is a full 24 hours following this. I have no bruising. However, I had swelling. I have used ice packs and taken antihistamines. Can I also take ibuprofen? Thanks.
Answer: Ibuprofen Thank you for your question, shellyjane! I would avoid taking the Ibuprofen until at least 48-72 hours after injection. Stick to Tylenol for now. Good luck!

Answer: OK to take ibuprofen 24 hours after fillers Hi,Thank you for your question.There is no hard and fast rule about NSAIDs after filler treatment but most offices will err on the safe side and recommend avoiding them for 24-48 hours after injection and definitely 2 weeks prior to any injection, if possible. Swelling after lip fillers is very common and will subside on its own.Hope this helps!

Answer: Ibuprophen after lip filler There are no strict guidelines for avoiding NSAIDS after lip filler, but in my practice we suggest avoiding for several days afterwards. Late onset bruising is possible even 24-48 hours after any procedure. Best Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Can I take ibuprofen one full day after lip fillers? Swelling after lip injections is completely normal and may take days to resolve. You likely have some discomfort from the injections and swelling, also normal. I would try to use Tylenol for discomfort instead of any product containing aspirin or ibuprofen for 48 hours after the injections to potentially minimize additional swelling associated with bleeding. Apply cold compresses to the treated area for 5 – 10 minutes every hour to help decrease the swelling. Happy Healing!

Answer: NSAIDs post-injections It is totally fine to take any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (Ibuprofen, Alleve) 24 hours after an injection. We recommend not taking any NSAIDs a week before planning to be injected, but after the injection has been completed, these medications will not affect any bruising. The anti-inflammatory component can synergistically improve swelling in combination with an antihistamine.
