There should be no reason that you would need to take plan B because you should be in bed doing nothing. And no activity that would require plan B for a month. Anything else is compromising YOUR outcome. Make smart choices. This is real surgery. Treat it as such.
Hello and thank you for your question.The use of plan B should not have any effect on your antibiotics prescribed after your breast augmentation. Contraception overall is a touchy subject and you should definitely speak to either your gynecologist or primary care physician when it comes to the details of which form of contraception to use.Otherwise, all of my patients are instructed to avoid sexual activity for at least two weeks in order to decrease any chances of trauma to the breasts that can cause bleeding, damage to the healing wound, and pain to the breasts.Hope I was able to answer your question. All the best!Alex Zuriarrain, MD, Plastic Surgery
I would call your plastic surgeon to ask. If you can't reach your surgeon then you might want to try checking with the pharmacist about possible interactions with antibiotics. I don't allow my patients to have intercourse for 2 weeks after surgery due to the increased risk of bleeding and swelling with activity, so please clarify that with your doctor as well.
Thank you for sharing your question. Though likely not to cause any significant issues with your antibiotics I would alert your surgeon for their recommendations. Best wishes.
It is always best to ask your plastic surgeon when taking prescription medicine right after surgery. Contact your board certified plastic surgeon to make sure it is safe with your current meds.
The short answer is no, it won't affect them. Even though antibiotics haven't been shown to reduce the risk of capsular contracture or infection, they are given more so to put the patient and surgeon at ease knowing that everything possible was done to help prevent these complications. You should talk to your surgeon about post activity restriction, because you are also putting your BA at risk of complication by being too active too soon.
This could be due to blood loss during your operation. I would recommend getting a blood count or blood test if possible to see if you're anaemic. It's important that you follow up with your surgeon asap in case there is a more serious underlying issue here.
Go to see the surgeon. There is a product that we use to remove glue that is safe for the skin. It is called detachol.
Itching is a side effect of all narcotics like percocet. If you have itching with alternatives (hydrocodone, codeine and tramadol) you can use something to treat the itch.
