What Prescriptions Are Prescribed for Bbl and Why?

Dear Sally,

The only medication that routinely needs to be prescribed is pain medication.  Your plastic surgeon may add to that an antinauseant, muscle relaxant or antibiotic by personal preference.  It is now more apparent that the routine use of antibiotics after surgery adds nothing to decrease the infection rates and may indeed be detrimental to the patient.  Antibiotics are routinely given at the start of every surgery.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Usually, you will have a few meds prescribed for you. First you will be prescribed an antibiotic. You will also receive an anti nausea medication. Sometimes the pain medication can cause nausea. You will also be prescribed a stool softener for constipation. Also, a pain medication will be prescribed to help with pain or discomfort. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeonHoffman Estates BarringtonOakbrook Chiago

Thank you for your question.  Most surgeons prescribe narcotic pain meds such as percocet after surgery.  An over the counter stool softener is helpful to prevent consitpation.  Some doctors will prescribe nausea medicine.  Antibiotics are usually used around surgery but are not necessary for prolonged periods.  Best wishes on your procedure.
