How long after a tummy tuck can I drink beers?

While you are on post op pain medications, you should not consume any alcoholic beverages. Discuss when you can resume drinking with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  Every surgeon has their own specific post-operative protocol based on their training and experience with a given procedure.  As such, it is recommended that you defer to your operating surgeon to discuss your specific post-operative restrictions (including consumption of alcohol).  As a general rule, you should not consume any alcoholic beverages while taking any narcotic pain medication.  Please speak/follow up with your operating surgeon.  I hope you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best.

You should check with your surgeon on this, for my patients I tell them to wait until they are off pain medication before drinking alcohol. Be careful though, beer has a lot of calories and you don't want to undo your great result. Good luck!
