Will antibiotics taken several days prior to rhinoplasty be a problem?

Question

Will it interfere with my operation?

Kevin Sadati, DO · Answer

There is no issue taking antibiotics prior to rhinoplasty. I normally recommend it one day prior to surgery. You need to check with your surgeon regarding your treatment.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Antibiotics taken before rhinoplasty should not be a problem, however it's best to check with your operative surgeon.

Michael Elam, MD (retired) · Answer

Dear damagecontrol, Ask your surgeon if he/she has any concerns with antibiotic usage prior to your procedure. Personally my concern would be what were you taking the antibiotics for? Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
