When can I take Ibuprofen after blepharoplasty? (photo)

Dog bite victim
I am 48 hours post op with a fair amount of bruising and swelling from an upper and lower blepharoplasty but would really like to take Ibuprofen for unrelated back pain. What do you recommend so I don't have more bruising? I read some posts that indicated it may actually help with swelling. Thoughts?
