Hello, I just got implants yesterday, and while the surgery went well and the healing process seems to otherwise be going as expected, my PS did notice a small rash on the back of my left hip before I left, and prescribed me augmentin to start right away - which I did and have been taking it accordingly. He said there is a possibility it could be staph. My question is: should the antibiotics most likely get rid of it before it spreads, or is there a good chance it could infect my implants? :/

Hello, I would suggest contacting your surgeon before doing any breast piercing since they know the exact placement of your implant and your stage of healing.
