Antibiotic use in aesthetic surgery: a national survey and literature review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
John A PerrottiJames E Zins

Abstract

Although much has been written regarding the use of antibiotics in surgery, no clear guidelines exist in the literature regarding the use of antibiotics in aesthetic surgery. To determine the pattern of antibiotic use in aesthetic surgery, a comprehensive survey was mailed to 6000 American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons members and candidates. A total of 1767 completed responses were returned, which represents a response rate of 30 percent. The type, route, and duration of antibiotic administration are reported for 10 common cosmetic surgical procedures. The results of the survey confirmed that there is widespread use of antibiotics in aesthetic surgery. To provide guidelines for proper antibiotic use, the current literature was extensively reviewed. The authors found little or no correlation between reported clinical practice and the literature. It is hoped that this study will stimulate further investigation into this area of aesthetic surgery.
