Answer: Tummy Tuck / Mini Tummy Tuck /Abdominoplasty/ Liposuction/ Reverse Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck Revision I appreciate your question.I recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you will be healing following surgery. I give my patients antibiotics in the operating room and as well as for several days following surgery. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Pre-op antibiotics before tummy tuck? Thank you for your excellent question. Data has shown that antibiotics administered just prior to incision during any procedure reduces the possible risk of a surgical site infection. Any antibiotics before this is dosing is unnecessary. Hope that this helps.
