How long should I stay away from drinking and smoking after blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery)?

Asked By:77ashlee in Los Angeles, CA

I'm not a heavy drinker (I drink exclusively at social gatherings) and I rarely smoke, maybe one cigarette a month. However, I was just curious as to how long I have to abstain from alcohol and smoking after receiving blepharoplasty in order to have safe results? Would it be okay to drink 9 days after?
