Is Celebrex alright to take up to and after a tummy tuck surgery?

  It is always best to run these types of questions by your plastic surgeon. Each plastic surgeon may have a different view regarding this question of timing to start anti-inflammatories (most feel that it is safe to do three weeks postoperatively assuming complication free post operative course). Some patients should not use anti-inflammatories based on their past medical/surgical history and/or allergy history. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

I would not recommend the use of Celebrex after surgery. This medication can increase the potential for bleeding. 

While most PSs do not want you taking NSAIDs before surgery due to bleeding and oozing issues( especially TTs) .In the post operative phase ,starting 3-4 days after , I have found them to be most helpful and they can reduce the need for stronger narcotics
