Facelift surgery while on antibiotics for UTI

January 14, 2017
Asked By:kauai wahine in Hawaii, HI

Will be going in for a face & necklift Feb 1,2017 about 2 1/2 wks. Have been on amoxicillin-clavullanare 500-125mg for five days for a UTI. Will do another urinalysis but if not cleared up the doctor said he will use another antibiotic. Since my PS is out of state, I really don't want to have a cancellation. If I'm still on the second antibiotic will this compromise my chances of having the surgery? I am keeping my fingers crossed the urinalysis will come back negative.
