I was not prescribed an antibiotic after my breast augmentation, is this normal?

Asked By:Kllo

I had BA 4days ago and feel great. Upon re-reading the pre-op booklet, it mentions several times the importance of taking the full course of antibiotics. I remember the nurse telling me in my pre-op visit that i would be given antibiotics, however one was ever called in to the pharmacy. I have had a great recovery thus far and actually feel and look really good. My question is should I be concerned about not receiving an antibiotic even though I've done wonderfully without it this many days?
