Do you have to take antibiotics prior to all dental work after Breast Augmentation?

Asked By:Cpcampbell in Columbus, OH

I read somewhere that there is some speculation that capsular contracture could be caused from not having antibiotics prior to dental work? Kinda like heart valve patients I guess? Any validity to this claim? Thanks kindly!
