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.

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.

Answer: Alcohol after Rhinoplasty Once you are no longer taking narcotic pain medication, it is ok to consume some alcohol. I would advise light alcohol use in the early (after at least 7 full days) post operative stage (a glass of wine for example) for those who want to drink. Keep in mind that some people get "puffy" with alcohol, in which case you may want to avoid it. By 4 months you should be fine to enjoy a couple celebratory birthday drinks. Avoid bumping your nose! Salud!
