Is it OK to drink alcohol 8 days after rhinoplasty?

August 9, 2015
Asked By:mpatrick in Fishers, IN

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?
