If I stop antibiotics on the 3rd day will my implant be infected?

Question

hi i had chin implant 3 days ago. and drink antibiotics for 2 days. but seems that i have allergy reactions to all of the antibiotics. is it really safe if i stop the antibiotics?

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. If you are having and allergic reaction you should change to a different antibiotic. I prefer to keep my patients on antibiotics for a minimum of 7 days. One of the highest risk for facial implants is infection.

Dear jctungcab,if you think that you are having an allergic reaction, then I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. There is an option to change antibiotics if there is a higher risk of an infection. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
