Do I need to take antibiotics for urology procedures if I have breast implants?

Given your history, I would think it’s prudent for you to take oral antibiotics prior to your procedure on your kidney stones. The same would be true if you’re having deep cleaning of your gums. The evidence is not conclusive, however, there is very little downside to taking a short course of antibiotics, and as you know, having to deal with your capsular contracture problem, there is a large downside to getting a new capsular contracture. The capsule does not prevent bacteria from getting on your implant and seeding your implant even years after the capsule is fully formed as noted by women who have had implants in for years, get pregnant and breast-feed their baby and develop a mastitis in their breast. A certain percentage of these patients go onto form capsular contracture. Contact your plastic surgeon about the appropriate dosing and duration. Best wishes.

This is a subject that has not been studied so we don’t really know if antibiotics are needed. I would ask your urologist and plastic surgeon. Giving you antibiotics is simple enough to do if in doubt
