I am getting lip fillers in 4 days but I have some cramps and was wondering how it would affect me if I took some Advil pills.
Answer: Medication Medications such as Advil are blood thinners. They can increase your risk for bruising and bleeding during your filler treatment. An alternate choice until after your filler treatment is Tylenol (acetaminophen) which does not have blood thinning properties.

Answer: OTC Blood thinning medications before injection Taking Advil a few days before your treatment can cause more bleeding and bruising. I recommend taking Tylenol for pain during this time until after your treatment. If you have already taken Advil before your treatment, just make your provider aware. Hope this helps.

Answer: Advil Dear AlondraG1,every plastic surgeon has his own protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to avoid Advil prior to procedure. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Taking Advil 7-14 days will increase risk of bruising Taking NSAIDs including Advil 7-14 days before any injection procedure will increase risk of bruising. If you took a dose, and have your appointment already scheduled, you might get some bruising. Some people tend to bruise more than others, but there are supplements (such as arnica) that you can take if you bruise after an injection procedure. Have a great treatment, Best of luck to you!
