Alcohol After Breast Implants?

Thanks for your question. There's no relationship found between alcohol and capsular contracture. However, drinking to the point where you pass out can create serious problems in other ways. Drink sensibly. Good luck - Aldo Guerra, MD.

Responsible drinking almost a month after a procedure should be okay, however, combining alcohol and medication is never a good mixture, especially if black-outs occur. It is not recommended that you combine Accolate and alcohol, especially if you are on pain medication.

Don't drink alcohol while taking prescription medications.  If you are off all of your prescriptions from surgery then a drink or two shouldn't be harmful but you should discuss this with your surgeon first.  Getting drunk to the point of blacking out is unacceptable and dangerous and shows that your drinking it out of control.  If this is the case you need professional help.  Please check with your family, primary care doctor, your surgeon, or your local hospital/ER to get the advice needed to help with your problem.  Best of luck.
