Antibiotics and Surgery

As part of my Louisville Plastic Surgery practice, I  recently completed continuing education for maintenance of my Plastic Surgery Board Certification. An interesting fact that many patients find surprising concerns breast augmentation and antibiotics. The lowest rate of infection, and this has been verified by several scientifically sound studies, results from one dose of IV antibiotics an hour before surgery. So, in this case, less is more!
