Thank you for your question. I generally recommend waiting until all the swelling is down and off all pain medications before drinking alcohol.
Best to check with your surgeon. In my practice if you are off all of your pain medicines and sleeping medications then after 3 days a single glass of wine is permitted.
You should not mix alcohol with any medications. Your surgeon would be the best resource for postoperatie instruction.
In general, if you're not on any medication,like narcotics, and you feel ok, there is no reason why you can not have a glass of wine. It is always safer if you check with your surgeon.
It is not a good idea to mix wine and pain medication just after surgery. You should probably check in with your surgeon.
Thank you for the question. Although it will probably be “okay” for you to have a glass of wine, I would suggest that you avoid the use of alcohol with narcotics and/or other medications that you may be using at this time.

It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least the first few days after surgery, including after breast implant removal. Alcohol can interfere with the body's healing process, increase the risk of bleeding and bruising, and interact with any pain medications you may be taking.Additionally, alcohol can cause dehydration, which is not ideal during the initial recovery period when your body needs hydration to support healing. It's essential to follow your plastic surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully, which likely include avoiding alcohol for a specified period.However, if you're unsure or have specific concerns, it's best to consult with your plastic surgeon before consuming alcohol or making any changes to your post-operative routine. They can provide you with guidance based on your individual circumstances and the specifics of your surgery.
In our practice post surgery we ask that you refrain from alcoholic beverages for approximately two weeks and also not while taking pain medication.
