Can doxycycline be used in place of the traditional prophylactic liposuction treatment?

Thank you for your question.I would discuss this with your surgeon, each surgeon has their preference on what antibiotics they like to use. Doxy is an acceptable choice, based on your allergy profile. Again, discuss this with your surgeon.

Inform your board certified plastic surgeon of your severe allergic reactions to all pens, cephs, and macrolides.  Substituting doxycycline should not pose a problem.
