I had an emergency root canal this morning (8/30) and the dentist put me on antibiotics...however, my surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday. My PS office is closed and I have read that the antibiotics won't hurt anything but I just want to make sure!!!

Answer: Surgery Preparation The main issue is to make sure that there is no infection in the body prior to having Breast implants placed. If your dental health is stable and there are no active infections then you should be fine to undergo surgery.

Answer: Antibiotics Before Cosmetic Surgery Antibiotics are medications that work with our bodies immune system to eliminate harmful bacteria that can cause infections. A side effect, however, is also removing helpful bacteria, including bacteria on our skin. The change in proportion of good to bad bacteria can actually result in an increase in surgical infections! So our advice to the patients is to continue the antibiotics that they have started, but also try to avoid infections by showering with hibiclens soap the day before surgery and the day of surgery. Eating yogurt or taking pro-biotics may also maintain overall healthy bacteria levels, which may help avoid constipation after surgery.
