Does taking antibiotics effect the nose after rhinoplasty?

Question

Hi, it has been 6 weeks since my rhinoplasty. Just about 2 days ago my upper lip was infected and I had an infection in my throat. My doctor gave my antibiotics and I was wondering if the antibiotics would effect anything. Thanks.

Thank you for you question. Taking antibiotics should have no effect on your results. With that said, if you experiencing a side effect of the antibiotic, contact the prescribing MD.

Hello Dianas1530,For the most part antibiotics should have no effect on the results of a rhinoplasty.  Many surgeons routinely place patients on antibiotics after a rhinoplasty or septoplasty.  If you have any concerns the best person to ask would be your surgeon.  I hope this helps and good luck.
