Is it safe to be on doxycycline if your planning on getting plastic surgery like Rhinoplasty or a BBL?

Question

I'm planning on getting a rhinoplasty and a bbl in about a month and I'm currently prescribed to doxycycline for my acne. Is it safe to continue to be on it or even during my surgeries? Should I go off of them or continue taking them?? Please help!!

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,It should be perfectly fine to continue your doxycycline while having surgery.  Antibiotics are normally prescribed during this time anyway. Inform your surgeon all of your medications prior to surgery.Best of luck!

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

There is no obvious reason to be off of the doxycycline. .Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and
listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You
should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Every plastic surgery office has different policies about patients staying on medications throughout their procedures. It is  always best to check with your operative surgeon and anesthesiologist about continuing or stopping medications prior to elective cosmetic surgery

You will be even more protected from infection since you are on Doxy. Just keep taking it before, during, and after surgery.

Thank you for the question and there is no reason for you to go off your medication for the proposed procedures, but inform your surgeon what you are on.Dr. Corbin
