Can I take amoxicillin within a few days before surgery?

D
DesiBK13Sep 7, 2017

My breast augmentation & rhinoplasty is 4 days away. I'm starting to feel a little sick with a sore throat, I know I'm supposed to quit certain meds for two weeks leading up to the surgery. The list I was given of meds to avoid doesn't show Amoxicillin, is that harmful before surgery? Last thing I want is to feel sick during my recovery.

Thank you very much for your question and photographs. Unfortunately, from your pictures, it appears that you are ‘bottoming out’. This means that your implants have fallen within the breast pocket, now below the inframammary crease. This will require a revision breast augmentation procedure to ...

Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation surgery.  It is not uncommon to be feeling the way you are at this stage in recovery.  Even though you feel great you still want to minimize the weight you are trying to carry.  I would change your purse to a wallet and make sure you are not ca...
