I will have liposuction done on my arms. Antibiotics suggestion for sensitive stomach and skin?

sofia1954
In the past I have take: - Procef ( antibiotics) it gave me vomit and nausea like almost dehydrated. - Cephalexin/Keflex I develop some type of tinea barbae ( fungal infection on my face mostly left cheek) 2 weeks later. Can you please advise me what will be the most mild but still good antibiotic I should take. I have breast Implants. Is it really necessary to take for 5 days. I heard if taken the day prior and day of surgery is enough.
