Do I really have to take antibiotics after breast augmentation?

Hello,There is no indication that oral antibiotics are necessary after any sterile procedure, including breast augmentation. I do not prescribe them and have had no infections after primary breast augmentation. No need to fear, you don't have to take them!Best of luck!

it is accepted that one does of IV antibiotics is appropriate when given before surgery. This is all that is necessary for protection. Many plastic surgeons will give oral antibiotics after surgery as well. I recommend you speaking with your surgeon about your concerns.
