I had my rhinoplasty exactly 3 weeks ago today. I'm not in a hurry to drink, but out of curiosity, when can I have alcohol?My birthday is in 4 months and I'd like to drink a few beers. If this is a factor, the type of rhinoplasty I had was a masculinization rhinoplasty with implant for the bridge and tip development.

CONTACT NOW Answer: A few days after surgery if you are not taking pain medications Alcohol in and of itself does not harm your rhinoplasty result. A few days after surgery, as long as you are not taking any narcotics or any tylenol it is safe to have a drink alcohol. I would just recommend that you limit your alcohol intake, because if you fall and hit your nose, the impact could certain ruin your outcome, and that would be terrible.

Answer: Drinking post Rhinoplasty Usual guidelines are for patients to cease alcohol intake for 1 week before and 1 week after surgery, because alcohol acts as a blood thinner and can cause bleeding and swelling. From one week after your surgery many surgeons allow up to one standard glass per day. Alcohol can also cause the nose to swell more and patients should be mindful that excessive alcohol can cause increasing swelling in the nose.

Answer: Should Be Okay It should be quite okay to have a few beers on your birthday which will be around your 5 months post-op. Alcohol can increase swelling and slow down healing but a moderate amount a few months after your surgery should not do any harm.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. I advise my patients to stop drinking alcohol three days before their rhinoplasty surgery also you should stop taking any medications such as Aspirin and Vitamins. Therefore you should consult with your surgeon for a reminder form before surgery. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Alcohol after rhinoplasty... Since you are three weeks out, you should be fine now. But I always tell my patients - everything in moderation. Do it some, if it is not causing a problem you can do it a little more.
