Effects of ibuprofen after filler treatment?

DavidiosaOct 18, 2018
​I just had my first filler injection (cheekbones and chin). A few hours after my treatment I took a ibruprofen. I found out that taking some ibruprofen right after this treatment is not a good idea. Does ibuprofen, despite the higher risk of bruising, also other side effects on the filler? Is the result less now?

Due to the lack of studies, it is recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women do not undergo filler treatment.  However, having filler should not affect the baby.  Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I'm sorry you are unhappy.  Juvederm placed in that area typically lasts 9 months, but can last up to one year or more.  If you wish you can return to your injector to have the product dissolved with hyaluronidase.  Please note that it sometimes takes more than one treatment to fully dissolve th...

Bruising is a risk with any injectable product.  My advice is to avoid Asprin and Ibuprophen products prior to your next injection and consider taking Arnica (a homeopathic medication sold over the counter) that may help reduce bruising and swelling.
