lymecycline/ tetrasyl prior to breast enlargement surgery

Lottielots
Hi I am booked to have breast enlargement at the end of the month, I’m currently taking lymecycline x1 a day for skin problems. Is it ok to continue taking the medication up till and following surgery? I have read a few people saying you must stop taking antibiotics 4 weeks prior to surgery but was not told this by my consultant? Any help appreciated-thank you.
