Alcohol After Breast Implants?

Thank you for your question. At three weeks, if your swelling is pretty much gone and
you are not requiring any pain medication, then some alcohol is probably
fine (but not to the point where you pass out).  If you have still have considerable swelling, then you may find
that alcohol prolongs the swelling period. In addition, if you are
requiring any medication to help manage discomfort or antibiotics, then I would
also avoid alcohol.Also check with your surgeon to make sure that you are good to go.

      Drinking may not have any effect on capsular contracture.  However, drinking for than a drink or two at a time can cause numerous health issues, which no doctor would recommend as appropriate.

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.
