Do I have to receive antibiotic prophylaxis for breast implant removal?

October 16, 2021
Asked By:sky131

I react so horribly to antibiotics and am allergic to many. I will be leaving the capsules just removing the implants no replacement. I had a PS suggest doing it in office under local anesthesia. Will they likely still use IV antibiotics ? Any way to avoid them? Thank you.
