Is it absolutely necessary to take Antibiotics after Liposuction?

Please contact your surgeon to tell them about your reaction to the antibiotics. They may be able to prescribe you something else, or nothing at all if it's not necessary.

I recommend that you speak with your surgeon and inform them about your reaction to the antibiotic. They may be able to discontinue the antibiotic or prescribe an alternative. Best, Dr. Khorasani.

I agree with what has been written.  There is debate over the need for antibiotics and if you look at the literature, there is little need for them based on what is written.  However, it is the "standard" of care and if an infection were to occur, there would be little chance to justify not using them.  You situation is unique and should be discussed with your surgeon.  Some antibiotics are anti-inflammatory as well as antibacterial and do help in the healing process.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If one looks at the change in infection rate with and without antibiotics, it is difficult to justify the use of perioperative antibiotics. However, if one gets an infection (and the patient is not prescribed antibiotics), it may be extremely difficult to justify the reasons to differ from "the norm", even if it is not agreed that they are the "standard of care". Discuss your concerns (yeast infections, nausea, itching, etc.) with your surgeon. Allow him or her to provide for you the best level of care that has been most successful in their experience.

your case is very particular and you need to discuss it with your doctor as the problem is that you are vomiting after you take the antibiotics, every doctor has his own management book for care after surgery but you will see that most of them will use antibiotics to PREVENT infections so that is the objective of this. Best wishes and get well soon.
