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?

Answer: Rhinoplasty and antibiotics Rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of your nose for breathing or appearance.Antibiotics are given to prevent infection. Some surgeons use them. Others do not use antibiotics. There is a conscious effort among doctors to avoid unnecessary antibiotics in general and the risk of infection after a nose surgery is low. However, an infection can be catastrophic after a nose surgery. Many surgeons and patients want to avoid an infection at all costs, especially revision rhinoplasty patients. I recommend probiotics to all of my patients to avoid the issues that come with taking antibiotics. There is research to support using probiotics. They are very safe.
