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

In general terms, we have patients discontinue nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs of any sort, including Celebrex, at least one week before surgery. Check with the doctor prescribing the medication to make sure that that is okay for your particular case, as everyone is different. Best of luck to you.     

Celebrex is an NSAID which can increase the risk for bleeding slightly. NSAIDS interfere with your natural blood clotting mechanism. I have all my patients stop any NSAID use 1 week prior to surgery. Good luck!
