Can I take an oxycodone before I get lip injections?

I don't recommend it. Usually a numbing cream is applied to increase your comfort during injections and some fillers have lidocaine. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit swelling and/or bruising. If you remain concerned, I recommend following up with your injector. Hope this helps.

I would not advise taking oxycodone or any medication without the approval of your injector. Typically a topical numbing cream will help. Also many fillers contain numbing medicine. Some doctors offer perioral numbing before before injection of the lip filler.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  For most patients narcotic use is unnecessary prior to a lip augmentation as your injector should have an excellent numbing cream or injections. There is also numbing medicine premixed with most fillers to make the experience better as well.  Hope this helps.
