What Type of Antibiotics Are Prescribed After a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction As Well As a Fat Graft?

Each doctor has their own protocol for antibiotics which will be used during cosmetic surgery.  For most surgeons, one dose of antibiotics given intravenously during surgery is considered the standard.  I also give a five day course of oral antibiotics for tummy tucks because it is an operation with a higher infection risk.  Follow the directions given by your surgeon.  Each surgeons recommendations may be different depending on their experience.

Prophalactic (preventative) antibiotics are warranted to minize the chance of infection. As it is being used as a preventative studies show that only 24 or less are indicated for most plastic surgical cases such as a tummy tuck (most clean surgeries for that matter). The first dose is always given just prior to your surgery. By using such a short time span there is less risk of problems with your gut/body. If you are concerned use a probiotic such as yogurt with active cultures while on antibiotics. Typically I prescribe a cephalosporin type of antibiotic if not allergic to this.

Hi, most surgeons use an intravenous dose of cephalosporin just before the surgery followed sometimes by pills for a short period depending on the surgeon.
please follow the instruction of your own surgeon as he is in the best position to know what's best for you.
