Is It Ok to Drink Wine the Night Before Getting Botox?

Question

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Bruising can get worse if you drink alcohol so soon before or after your treatment. If you have a tendency to bruise, then I suggest you avoid wine.

Hello,

	A glass of wine the night before will not compromise the administration of your Botox the next day.

	Dear Natsu,

	The question you ask is a very good one. Often patients are concerned about a forehead contour irregularity and wish to have it corrected due to aesthetic reasons. I feel that this is very reasonable - after it has been determined why there is a irregularity. I would recommend seeking a surgeon who specializes in treatment of the face for this reason.

	Be healthy and be well,

Enjoy a glass of wine, as there shouldn't be a problem getting Botox Cosmetic. You may enjoy a glass of wine after treatment too. The risk of bleeding or bruising is minimal with small amounts of alcohol.

There is no specific contraindication to having a glass of wine the night before receiving Botox. Large quantities of alcohol or prolonged consumption will lead to bruising/bleeding complications, but occasional use will not. Relax and enjoy!

Richard W. Westreich, MD · Answer

There is no issue with drinking wine the night before a treatment. On occasion drinking will make you more likely to bruise but it's not typically an issue with Botox. Enjoy!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Drinking wine the night before your Botox treatment may increase your chances of bruising from treatment.  It will not affect your over treatment results.  Before treatment in order to minimize bruising it is best to avoid alcohol, aspirin, NSAIDs,  and Vitamin E supplements.

Jeffrey W. Hall, MD · Answer

Drinking wine will not effect the outcome of your results, however it could increase your likelihood of bruising.  If you have concern there, I'd recommend you avoid it before your injection.

Paul L. Leong, MD, FACS · Answer

It is fine to drink wine the night before botox
injections, but if you are worried about bruising I don’t recommend it. Alcohol, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ibuprofen and
Aspirin are all agents that thin the blood, which can lead to an increased risk
of bruising. If bruising is a concern, I
suggest refraining from alcohol 1-2 weeks before and a couple of days after
Botox injections. I hope this
information helps!
