Hi. I'll be having my wisdom teeth removed one week before having liposuction surgery. My question is, will the antibiotics and Tynenol that are given to me after affect my lipo surgery in any way?
Answer: Antibiotics and liposuction
Many physicians prescribe antibiotics prior lipo suction so continuing with the appropriate antibiotics before liposuction after tooth extraction should not be an issue, unless a resistant strain developed.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Oral Surgery Procedure Prior to Liposuction
The Acetaminophen and antibiotics will not directly affect your liposuction surgery. It sounds as if your wisdom teeth are fine and your dentist is prescribing the antibiotics prophylactically to reduce the risk for infection after your procedure.
What is more important is the risk for infection following liposuction, from an oral source. A pre-operative dose of antibiotics is typically administered just before liposuction to reduce the risk for infection. That single dose may not be sufficient if an open wound is still healing in your mouth. A transient bacteremia from any residual open wound in the mouth could seed the site of your liposuction and cause a serious infection. You must discuss your oral surgery with your plastic surgeon so s/he is aware and can decide how to proceed. I personally, would postpone your liposuction surgery date several weeks to ensure that your mouth is completely healed.

Answer: Antibiotics Before Liposuction
There is no relationship so do not be concerned. Proceed with your planned liposuction but you could discuss with your chosen surgeon.

Answer: You should be fine
This should not affect your liposuction results. The risk of infection with liposuction is very very low. You should ask the plastic surgeon and get his opinion on this as well since he will be performing your surgery.

Answer: Early second procedure.
The real question should be about doing a second procedure soon after the wisdom tooth extraction. The antibiotics and pain medication will not affect the liposuction but if the wisdom tooth extraction site has bacteria in it an a bacteremia follows the lipo sites could get infected. Just because you take antibiotics for the tooth extraction does not mean it will not have a problem. You are not going to be on antibiotics for a long time with either procedure. It would be best to wait until the tooth extraction site is well healed before doing the lipo.
