Hi, I was hoping to get your advice. I have a rhinoplasty coming up. This will be done with twilight sedation. The doctor had instructed no alcohol 7 before procedure. I went to a work dinner and had 1 1/2margarita. This was 6 days before surgery. I absolutely forgot and now I’m scared my dr will cancel my surgery. Should I tell him? And also have is one drink 6 days before instead of 7? For the note I never ever drink. Thanks
