  • For general anesthesia patients- Take 2 Celebrex 1-2 hours before your scheduled surgery time with a sip of water.
  • Bring your luggage with you if you are staying overnight at the recovery facility, otherwise, you will return to your hotel. We will arrange transportation if necessary.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing with a shirt that closes in the front so that you will not have to pull it over your head.

Keep yourself calm and relaxed and let the staff at the Surgical Facility or Cruise Plastic Surgery take care of you through the surgical process.
After surgery, you will be moved to a recovery room. Recovery times vary with each patient and the procedures being performed.
