Question

Plastic surgery skin dermatology

Dean Fardo, MD · Answer

Most surgeons would prescribe antibiotics during and after a breast augmentation and minocycline should be fine.  Make sure your doctor knows what you are taking.

Gregory Sexton, MD · Answer

Taking minocycline during, and/or after breast augmentation should not be a problem. It may not be necessary, as your surgeon may give you antibiotics to take as well, which could substitute for the minocyline. Taking both could increase the risk of a yeast infection, so Talk to your surgeon.

Patrick W. Hsu, MD, FACS · Answer

No need to stop either before, during or after your procedure. In fact, being on minocycline will help further reduce your chances if having an infection .

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It should be ok to take minocycline for dermatologic reasons at the same time as undergoing a breast augmentation.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

You may be taking Minocycline for a dermatologic condition.  This will have no effect on a breast augmentation.  You can continue taking your medication as prescribed.
