Thank you for your question. I recommend avoiding alcohol for 2 weeks prior to your procedure. Please speak to your plastic surgeon for specific pre-op protocols.

Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello love3135,
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Plastic surgeons have different pre and post-operative care protocols, customized for every patient to achieve the best results. I typically recommend my patients stop smoking and heavily drinking alcohol, at least 4 weeks before the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), because these habits will reduce circulation throughout the body, leading to the degradation of new cells. Smoking is proven to reduce blood circulation in the body, which can cause the newly transplanted fat cells to reabsorb. The same applies to alcohol, which prevents the new fat cells from developing a blood supply quick enough to survive transplantation. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Moderate drinking should not interfere with your surgery.  Make sure to discuss this with your surgeon and anesthesiologist prior to your procedure.
