Question

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

Each surgeon will have a different recommendation with regards to antibiotics for BBL surgery. I prescribe a week of Keflex after surgery. I also provide patients with a dose of antibiotics through their IV before the procedure is started. Good luck with your procedure.

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Different doctors use different antibiotic regimens with Brazilian Butt Lift.  I typically prescribe clindamycin unless patients are allergic.  Best of luck!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Many surgeons use one dose of antibiotics prior to the start of the procedure, while others give them for a few days. Best to ask your surgeon.

Shain A. Cuber, MD · Answer

In my office we give our patients cephalexin for 7 days twice a day, you should not need more then this. If you do a repeat injection your doctor may give you another round of antibiotics.
