Is antibiotics required after double eyelid surgery?

May 25, 2024
Asked By:Mared1 in Uhwiesen, Obwalden, Schweiz

Hello, I will undergo incisional revision double eyelid surgery. Is taking antibiotics absolutely necessary? Last year I had to take 7 different antibiotics for a UTI that wouldnt clear. Even though I took probiotics I battled vaginal trush for almost a year, gastritis, diarrhea and multiresistent pathogens, hives and severe vomiting. I am okay with an antibiptic ointment, but prefer to stay free of antibiotics. Thanks you.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS says:
