Advice on Celebrex post BREAST Augmentation

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 routinely suggest Celebrex for inflammatory discomfort following breast surgery starting several days after the procedure.  For the first days, a narcotic pain reliever is more effective.Your doctor can also use a long-lasting local anesthetic to keep you comfortable.  These local anesthetics are the most effective and rarely have side effects.  I would suggest discussing this option with your doctor.Best wishes!

I don't use Celebrex for my patients but each surgeon has their own beliefs in what they feel will optimize your outcome.  So much of what we do is based on personal experience or shared belief.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi
