I had a Rhinoplasty 5 and a half weeks ago as well as a nasal graft placed. I was wondering if having 5 beers or a bottle of wine would have terrible affects on my surgery. I know that it will increase swelling, but I am just wondering if it will ruin the surgery I had done and cause me to have another surgery to repair it. I've been drinking/socializing with my friends a few times already and had a fair amount to drink: 5 beers is my maximum. I haven't fallen or done any physical harm to my nose.

Dear nosebreather,
Thank you for your question. The tube between your nasal/oral passages and your ears may be blocked by congestion. Your surgeon may ask you to take a decongestant, or take the packing out, or both.
