I have 22 days before my BBL surgery. Can I take metronidazole for a BV infection?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Even minor infections can severely increase the risks of complications during and after surgery. Because of this, most surgeons will wait to perform surgery until after an infection resolves. Your OBGYN will be able to tell you when your infections have resolved. You will need to ask the plastic surgeon who will be performing your procedures.

Dear Robin035,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
