    Default BA & Dental Work - Capsular Contracture / Complications?

    Have any of you had dental work right before or right after breast implants? Did any of you purposely postpone the dental work (or the BA) in order to not risk capsular contracture or any other complications?

    From what I've read, many doctors theorize that dental work can possibly contaminate the body with bacteria which can cause inflammation that your body then processes as capsular contracture if you have a fairly new BA. I know some doctors tell you to take antobiotics before/after dental work, but I've also heard some refuse to give you them (citing its unnecessary).

    Experiences?

    I've also heard that dental work / teeth cleaning can set loose bacteria in the bloodstream ... best to avoid surgery anywhere near such an event

    I agree. Don't do it. Not worth the risk. Anytime you have dental work bacteria can get in the bloodstream. Rotten teeth can actually cause heart attacks because toxins enter your bloodstream.

    How long would you say to wait? I mean, implants aren't fully healed for at least a year, so...

    Yeah its weird, some doctors and dentists say they are not correlated at all. Others say its a HUGE red flag and the two (BA and dental work) cannot intersect with each other ranging from 2 weeks to 1 year depending on which doctor/dentist you speak to.

    My teeth are luckily in kinda good condition. I read somewhere that half a year after the surgery if you have dental work, you should take antibiotics. I asked about that from my ps and she wrote a prescription right away. She said also that any kind of bad infection at any point [when you have implants in] increases the risk of cc.
