Have had 2 breast surgeries, resulting in C-diff post-op. I would like to get a facelift - are antibiotics required?

Antibiotics are not required for a face lift. It is an individual preference of your surgeon. Although it is common, it is not mandatory. Infections after face lifts are rare. You should speak to your surgeon and decide on the best course of action. Another alternative is of course to chooose a different antibiotic. I also recommend if you do take antibiotics use probiotics with the antibiotic.

Facelift procedures have very low risk of infection. Nonetheless, antibiotics are typically given in the perioperative period. This can be tailored to your particular situation and limited to maybe limited to preop or just a few days postop.
