Antibiotics for breast implant exchange?

Dear Mgirl202,

I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.
It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

I always use antibiotics because bacteria live inside your nipples and all around your skin. You should stay on probiotics and increase the dose when taking antibiotics.
