Is it OK to drink alcohol 8 days after rhinoplasty?

Question

My nose splint was removed on the 7th day and for the most part the bleeding/dripping in the nose had subsided. I was off all pain meds as well. I had a few alcoholic beverages on the 8th day. Would this permanently damage the recovery at this stage?

Thanks for the question. I advise my patients to start drinking alcohol, coffee  5-7 days after their rhinoplasty. Therefore you should consult with your surgeon for a reminder form before surgery. I wish you all the best.

You should be ok at this stage.I as my patients not to drink alcohol for 1 week post op. Be careful not to bump or damage your nose.
