What happens if I drink alcohol after FaceTite?

JennyB1980Mar 29, 2019
I had the procedure done on Thursday, and celebrated my birthday on Friday with family and friends at dinner. I had a 2 vodka and Cokes. After which, I realized after the fact I was supposed to avoid alcohol. I think I may have slow down the healing process, but did I stop the healing process completely? I’m of course still swollen and am afraid of my face being “stuck” - and not eventually giving me the results I had hoped. What consequences will I have to pay?
