Advice on Celebrex post BREAST Augmentation

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, you really should ask your PS. It is clear that you will get different opinions from different surgeons. So you need to get the opinion of your PS.

I hope you found this helpful.

Best wishes.

Hello,I have not prescribed narcotic pain medicine for breast augmentation for many years, but instead prefer Motrin. Celebrex is another great medication that works well.  It is true that they all inhibit platelets, however there is no evidence that it increases your risk of bleeding or bruising.  This has been my experience too. Best of luck!

I typically do not prescribe Celebrex to my Breast Augmentation patients immediately after surgery. It is reasonable to take this medication after 5 days. I typically use a long acting medication that is injected at the time of breast surgery that usually lasts for 2-3 days. After this time Tylenol 3 is all that is required. I have found this combination to work nicely for my patients for pain control.  Each plastic surgeon has his or her own philosophy and recommendations. I encourage you to trust your plastic surgeon regarding this issue.
