Is it Okay to Drink Coffee and Wine a Few Days Post-Op Rhinoplasty

In our practice we generally ask patients to refrain from caffeinated or alcoholic beverages for at least two weeks after a rhinoplasty surgery. Swelling can be a real problem after rhinoplasty and these beverages tend to make the swelling worse.  Check with your surgeon for his/her specific recommendations.

While I do not see any specific reasons why you cannot have either a glass of wine or a cup(s) of coffee, I cannot tell you if there are specific reasons that your surgeon would not want you to partake. Therefore, it would be best to call their office if you want to know with certainty.
