Brief Answer:
Use acetaminophen not naproxen.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should use only acetaminophen because other antinflamatory drugs may increase the risk of bleeding. So, I can advise you not to use naproxen but you can use acetaminophen, alvedon citation.
You can use Acetaminophen every 6 to 8 hours for pain.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Paracetamol is safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.

Taking acetaminophen, alvedon or citadon Paracetamol is safe during abortion or liposuction.
Naproxen is not safe because it can increase bleeding.

So take Paracetamol, not naproxen or ibuprofen for pain during or before or after abortion and liposuction.
