How long after lip injections is it ok to take ibuprofen without causing more bruising?

JessdroMar 2, 2018
I had my lips injected yesterday afternoon with Stylage (in Stockholm). I woke up with a headache this morning that will not subside, and I wanted to know if there was an amount of time I should wait before I take ibuprofen (24h? 48h? 1 week?). I bruise easily and already appear to have some bruising appearing, but I do not want to make it worse. Thanks!!

Hello and thank you for your question. You can still have the procedure, but in my experience, patients with autoimmune diseases tend to lose the product faster. You may want to keep that in mind.
