A member asked:
41 year old woman,non-smoker. i just got breast implants 1 week ago. i want to have an oral biopsy done for peace of mind. will this cause issues with my implants? do i need to take antibiotics before the biopsy?if i should wait how long before okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
wait till the surgery for implants heals- 4-6 weeks if there is no rush for the biopsy. If you do need it before that it is best to contact your best surgeon and the person doing the biopsy- for surgeons can differ in their views in this matter. Good luck.
