I wasn't able to get hibiclense until 2 days before surgery (today) is it that big of a deal that I didn't use it yesterday?
Answer: Breast augmentation: Is it okay that I didn't use Hibiclens for the full three days?" It's not a big deal in my practice. I believe the most important skin cleansing occurs right before surgery with the antiseptic I use to clean the skin. This preparation is just one of the steps in helping to prevent surgical infection. I have seen only 2 breasts out of over 12,000 with an infection. It's always best to check if your concern is a concern of your surgeon's. Hope this was reassuring. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Answer: Is it ok I didn't use hibiclense Thanks for your question. Don't worry not a big deal at all. My patients are not advised to use hibiclens and I only have 1 infection in 13 years. Good luck.

Answer: No biggie (usually) Using hibiclens prior to surgery is a nice option to try and reduce the risk of a post-operative infection. Most doctors don't have this requirement and the risk of infection is somewhere around 1-2%. Using hibiclens prior to surgery may or may not actually reduce the infection rate, but it couldn't hurt (unless you have an allergy). So, starting 2 days prior as opposed to 3 day will likely have no clinically appreciable difference. The only case that it may be more important is if you have a known history of infections with a bacteria know as staph aureus.
