Are these medicines okay to take before/after lip injections? What else can I do to reduce chances of bruising or swelling?

plasticsurgerymaybe
I take allergy medicine every morning(claratin, allegra,or Zyrtec) and zantac(a stomach medicine) every night.. Is that okay taking before lip injections? I heard you shouldn't take some medicines before lip injections..I'm getting a half syringe of juvederm next week. It's important I don't bruise or swell because I don't want my parents to know.
