How likely is the possibility of infection after neck lift/bleph procedure combined? Is there alternative to antibiotics?

Asked By:agingmess in New York, New York

My postop care includes taking antibiotic Keflex 4x daily starting a day after surgery. I suffer chronic bladder inflammation. Certain antibiotics cause extreme pain, damage to the point I may be unable to eat for months. I don't know how I'll react to Keflex, but if pain occurs I will need to stop immediately, perhaps after only 1 day. Will discuss with dr. but what is the real risk of infection? are there alternatives to antibiotics as a preventative measure for patients w/ sensitivities?
