Should I take antibiotics post Breast Augmentation or not?

Asked By:8257anon in US

So I'm a little confused, my augmentation is on 2 days, anyway one surgeon I went to said he prescribes oral antibiotics after the surgery. However the other surgeon told me he never bothers with prescribing antibiotics after surgery. BOTH surgeons give antibiotics through the IV during surgery. Obviously I will take any antibiotics that are prescribed to me, however I am confused as to why one surgeon makes you take them afterwards, and one does not?
