Asked By:jheart in California, CA

Is a prescribed course of antibiotics standard after rhinoplasty? I have my procedure scheduled for later this month, and was just informed of the requirement to take Keflex for 7 days after the surgery. I generally react poorly to antibiotics with effects lingering for weeks to months after (weight gain, bloating, sluggish metabolism, fatigue, etc). Wondering if there is an alternative approach. Thank you!
