I sent my patient to an Infectious Disease consultant and his recommendation prior to surgery was Bactrim (antibiotic) starting 1 weeks prior to surgery and 1 week after, Bacroban ointment to her previously infected area, Vancomycin IV prior to surgery and then for 48 hours.
This is a lot to go through but it is precisely what we did even though my patient only had a positive culture from a routine nasal swab.
Discuss this with your plastic surgeon prior to your surgery.
