Can I take Celebrex and Percocet together for post-operative (BA) pain/inflammation?

I'm soon getting a breast augmentation and was wondering if Celebrex and Percocet could be used together, or if I should start with Percocet and then switch to Celebrex. I was prescribed both, but I'm reading mixed things about bleeding risk, so I wanted to get second opinions. How would you prescribe these two medications to your patients?

Implant massage is a critical part of the postoperative recovery from breast augmentation (like physical therapy is a critical part of the postoperative recovery from knee surgery).  The space for the implant is meticulously crafted at the time of augmentation surgery, especially when the ...

Thank you for your questions. While there is no direct obvious answer, it is not uncommon to have some changes like this after surgery. With time things should return to normal. Hope this helps!

At this point in your recovery, it is much too soon to be worried about the outcome.  It takes time for the implants to settle into position and the skin and muscle to stretch out to accommodate the new implant.  It may be 6 months or more before the shape has reached its final look.  Be patient.

This does not sound like a capsular contracture.  I would continue to pursue the imaging and work up by the specialist.
