title: Prophylactic antibiotics in aesthetic surgery.
abstract: According to the authors, prophylactic antibiotics should not be used routinely in aesthetic surgery, but only when indicated by empirically-based criteria. Here they provide literature-based guidelines, advocate for new double-blinded studies, and advise aesthetic surgeons to decide on prophylactic antibiotic treatment by considering the relative risks and benefits in each individual case.
