The Botox injection sites can hurt. In fact you might not remember that you had an injection until tomorrow when you are washing your hair and accidentally touch your forehead. It might feel like a bruise. It is normal to have the feeling of bruising and pain when the forehead is injected. This will go away over a day or two. Analgesics that are available over the counter should help if you need anything.The fillers are definitely more painful. This soreness will last for longer and may be more severe. You may find that this requires oral pain medicine. If the over the counter drugs do not work, check in with your plastic surgeon and have them evaluate the area. They can suggest something for pain assuming all is well.
Hello, Thank you for your question. It is common to experience some discomfort after receiving injectables. Many patients find Tylenol affective, to help ease the pain.I'd recommend that you speaking with your qualified injector, should the pain increase and/or persist over 2 weeks. Take care.
Yes, please take Tylenol for your pain and/or discomfort post Botox and fillers. However, if the pain increases or stretches past the two week mark, contact your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian
Thank you for yourquestion in regards to Botox. Tylenol is fine to take if you have mild discomfort. If you are in severe pain, have redness and/or swelling lasting more than two weeks, contact the provider who performed your injections. To be sure what is best for you, see twoor more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation tomake sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to havetreatment.I hope this helps.
In my experience there should be very little pain after Botox and filler injection. It is fine to take tylenol for mild discomfort. If you are in severe pain or have redness and swelling I would contact your doctor.Good Luck.
