Had mucocele removed in lower lip, do i have to take a round of antibiotics after procedure? do i really need them?

No: I don't believe you need antibiotics after a mucocele removal. There are no infectious agents associated with this benign lesion.

Depends: You need to follow your surgeon's advice since he /she knows more about your need than any of us.
