Do I really have to take antibiotics after breast augmentation?

Asked By:lovingmefirst in Los Angeles, CA

I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE ANTIBIOTICS. In fact I HATE all types of medication TAKEN ORALLY. I only take Tylenol if I'm ever sick. I eat healthy, don't drink, don't smoke, and medication is something I would rather keep out my system. I don't mind needles and medications through IV but I will never do anything orally. I have seen a few plastic surgeons and some have told me that antibiotics after a BA are A MUST or else they will not perform surgery. So are antibiotics this really A MUST??????
