Is it risky to drink alcohol before a tummy tuck?

June 14, 2017
Asked By:TTdreamer84 in Florida, FL

I'm going on a cruise the week before I'm planning on having a TT (not scheduled yet). It's open bar and I'm certain I will be drinking. Is there a higher risk for anything doing so? I do plan to talk with the PS next week on this but looking for advice. It's my first cruise and it's my honeymoon so I really want to drink with my husband and have a good time without kids. Postponing surgery would be incredibly difficult. Of course if it's a high risk for something I won't. Thoughts?
