I had lip injections fillers today , didnt know it would be so painful after. Can i take a sleeping pill to help me sleep ?

Thanks for the question. It is safe to take a medication to help you sleep after your lip filler treatment. Since the discomfort is likely due to swelling you are experiencing, you can also apply ice or cold compresses to the area to relieve the pain. I also tell my patients to sleep with their heads slightly elevated to minimize additional swelling while they sleep. Good luck on your recovery and enjoy your results!

It is fine for you to resume your medications including sleep aids after filler treatment.  The swelling is likely what is causing you discomfort.  You may want to use intermittent cold compresses to soothe the area.

Great question!  Yes you should be fine to take sleeping pills to help you sleep after filler injection if you want.  Just don't sleep on your face / lips and don't put any pressure on the lips.Best of luck and hope this information helps!
