Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with a pre-existing breast implant
Neither the indication for prophylaxis nor the choice of antibiotic regimen is altered by the presence of a breast implant; therefore, the same approach to surgical antibiotic prophylaxis should be taken for patients with and without a pre-existing breast implant.
Note: Only give surgical antibiotic prophylaxis to patients with a pre-existing breast implant if prophylaxis is indicated for the procedure.
