I Had a Breast Implant Removal 3 Days Ago, is It Okay for Me to Have a Glass of Wine?

Question

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I generally recommend waiting until all the swelling is down and off all pain medications before drinking alcohol.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

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.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

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. Run  this question by your plastic surgeon who is ultimately responsible for their care.

	Best wishes.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

You should not mix alcohol with any medications. Your surgeon would be the best resource for postoperatie instruction.

Moneer Jaibaji, MD · Answer

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.
