Is it necessary to take antibiotics after a nose job?

February 20, 2017
Asked By:xocarmella in Sacramento, CA

I am not into antibiotics considering they throw off my system for months afterwards. After my surgery, if I DO get an infection, can I THEN decide to take any antibiotics? That should be fine right? Or is it not really even necessary to take antibiotics after a nose job? Are antibiotics necessary after a boob job?
