Asked By:starcrossed in New York, NY

I've had liposuction on my love handles, tummy area and fat grafting to my butt area, about 7 weeks ago. I am looking almost completely flat as I was skinny to begin with. My tummy is completely flat and I just have a little bit of swelling still on one side only but it's barely noticeable. Is it okay to drink alcohol now? I mean just one night really, and I drink very little, meaning a glass of vodka cranberry or 2 max.
