Can I take Celebrex the few weeks prior to breast augmentation surgery? When should I stop taking Celebrex prior to surgery?

I would not recommend taking Celebrex prior to your breast augmentation. I will stop taking Celebrex apparently 10 days prior to your operation.  If you having pain due to joint issues I would  use Tylenol as a substitute.

Dear Jane,    This is an important question. Celebrex is an anti iflamatory drug and that class of medication in known for it's side effect as blood thinners. Not every person reacts in the same way to blood thining medications, however, since the consequences of bleeding can be quite detrimental to the final outcome, it is wise to stop them before surgery. In my practice, every patient gets a diet and medication sheet  to avoid 2 weeks prior to surgery. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check their before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Check also the 'realself' reviews for positive patients experience which provides important information on the surgeons.                     Best of luck,                                           Dr Widder

Celebrex should not cause problems but check with your surgeon for his/her protocol.  We ask our patients to stop all non-essential medications two weeks before surgery
