Is it absolutely necessary to take Antibiotics after Liposuction?

July 15, 2014
Asked By:msegt in Los Angeles, CA

The antibiotics they gave me made me so sick that I couldn't keep anything down. They switched the antibiotics and I still couldn't stop vomiting. I am a healthy 35 year old woman. I had lipo on the upper and lower abdomen.
