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.
