Will alcohol interfere with the healing post op vaser lipo?

Question

So I am talking the social glass of wine with a meal.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi, it is best to wait until you are done with your pain medications, for incisions to be fully healed, or when swelling / bruising is resolved before you take any alcohol to prevent any complications. You may contact your surgeon for clarification regarding this. Visit the web reference below for more extensive information about #recovery. Best of luck!#RealSelf100

Thank you for your question.The alcohol by itself, should not impair healing but can increase the bruising. (For the first couple of days only).All The Best !

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The answer is no, you can have a drink or two and be fine in terms of swelling/bruising and healing.  However, I recommend to my patients no alcohol for 2 weeks before and after the surgery to get the best results without complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Joel B. Singer, MD · Answer

Alcohol shouldn't impact healing, but it may exacerbate bruising if you drink too much within a day or two after the procedure.Cheers
