Can I drink a glass of wine the day before my BBL?

Hi, thanks for your question. Typically we don't recommend drinking any alcohol prior to your surgery. Alcohol can inhibit healing, can thin the blood, as well as cause complications when it comes to general anesthesia, so it's best to abstain, especially the day before your surgery. That said, your surgeon will have their own pre and post-operative guidelines that you should follow carefully. I recommend speaking directly to your surgeon about these and any other concerns that you might have about your upcoming surgery.

Drinking even moderate amounts of alcohol prior to surgery could slow down recovery and weaken the immune system. The majority of surgeons recommend that patients abstain from alcohol closer to two weeks prior to surgery. These protocols vary with the surgeon, so to be safe, ask your board certified plastic surgeon this question during consultation.

Dear Independent563253,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. You should avoid alcohol prior to surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
