I am having breast augumentation 6 weeks from today and I will need antiobitics but can only get them on Monday, will I still be able to have surgery after taking the antibiotics
Answer: Antibiotics When having surgery it is best that you are free from active infection. Given that your surgery is six weeks away there should be ample time for the antibiotics to clear any infection. It is always recommended to discuss all medications you are taking with your surgeon.

Answer: Antibiotics Thanks for your question! You are far enough out from your surgery that I don't foresee any issues with that. Keep your plastic surgeon aware in case they feel differently. Good luck!

Answer: Surgery and antibiotics Antibiotics are not harmful at all before the surgery. You can still receive anesthesia if you are taking antibiotics. However, if you are taking antibiotics due to infection, your doctor and anesthesiologist will delay surgery until your infection is cleared.

Answer: Illness before surgery It would depend on why you are taking the antibiotics. You want all infection to be gone before proceeding with breast augmentation surgery. You also want to ensure you are maximally recovered from whatever made you sick. As an example, if you had pneumonia (lung infection), you want to be sure that the lungs are recovered before being put to sleep for your surgery. I would recommend giving your surgeon an update, and they can advise you on how to proceed from there.
