Dear Independent563253, thanks for sharing your question, it is not recommended to drink alcohol the day before of your surgery. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.
Simply the fact that you needed to ask the question on real self makes me wonder if perhaps alcohol consumption has gotten ahead of itself in your life.People I don’t have issues with alcohol should simply abstain without needing to ask.If going without alcohol for more than a day is an issue then perhaps you should consider eliminating alcohol from your life.If the doctor says it’s OK to have a glass of wine are you going to have one glass of wine or more than that?I think most doctors would recommend not drinking the day before surgery.That is my recommendation.I also recommend not drinking alcohol at all if alcohol is causing quality-of-life to be diminished in anyway.Every community has support for those wishing to stop drinkingIf that’s you simply reach out to the AA community which is there for anyone who wants support. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinkingBest, Mats Hagstrom MD
