Dear patient,as long as you do not drink a crazy number of cups of coffee which can give you irregular heart beats, 1 or 2 cups a day is fine.and same for alcohol: 1 glass a day is fine.I tell my patients no crazy partying the night before surgery so they do not have a hangover, and are dehydrated...same for drugs, by the way ! but we can do drug testing in the hospital pre-op...we do a lot of BBL, and most patients are reasonable when it comes for cosmetic surgery.good luck,Florence Mussat
Yes, it’s typically advised to avoid caffeine and alcohol for a certain period before surgery, including BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) or breast lift surgery. Both substances can interfere with the body’s ability to heal and may increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. Your plastic surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your individual case.
There may be some blood thinning capability of alcohol so I have patients restrict their intake before surgery. Coffee is no problem.
Other than blood thinners and nicotine, I usually don't require patients to stop the use of caffeine or alcohol with any type of procedure. Caffeine or alcohol in moderation has not had any untoward effects in my patients. Hope that helps.

Gentle moderation is a must both before and after breast surgery and any surgery for that matter. I suggest no caffeine or alcohol the day before surgery and certainly during the period after surgery do not mix alchhol and pain medication. A little caffeine on the 2nd day and beyond is okay.

Sounds like you have large breasts that have a ptosis (droop) problem. This can be corrected with a vertical mastopexy-reduction. Seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon and sort out your options. My Best, Dr C
Hello, thank you for your question. As i can see in your Picture you don't apply for a doughnut breast lift because of the laxity of your breast, you're a better candidate to a breast lift with implants over the muscle and an anchor incision. That way we can treat you skin laxity properly...
Yes. Dissolvable stitches can spit, be tender, and cause pain even though the skin has healed. There are a number of reasons for this including the actual type of suture used (braided suture is more prone to spit than monofilament), cleanliness of the skin at the time of surgery, patient allergy...
Yes, scar tissue from a breast lift procedure can potentially cause nerve damage, though it is not extremely common. Here’s how it can happen: 1. Surgical Trauma: During the breast lift surgery, nerves in the breast tissue and around the nipple area can be stretched, compressed, or i...
Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
