Is it safe to take probiotics after a septorhinoplasty?

Question

I tend to have issues with antibiotics, and probiotics usually help. I have been taking one for digestive/vaginal health.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

There is no reason not to take probiotics after elective surgery, including rhinoplasty. Good luck.

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

It is safe to take probiotics after most surgical procedures and rhinoplasty is no exception. It helps the body to maintain a GI balance that may be beneficial during the healing process.

Jeffrey Joseph, MD, FACS · Answer

I don’t see a reason to not take probiotics following surgery, but check with your surgeon to be sure it’s fine with him.

Samuel Lin, MD, FACS · Answer

I would check with your rhinoplasty expert specifically, however in general probiotics that are available in your neighborhood grocery store are generally ok to take afterwards.

There should not be a problem.  Check there are no interactions with any other medications you might be taking homeopathic or medical.
