Will there be any long term effects if I drink alcohol after rhinoplasty?

In my practice, I advise patient to avoid alcohol for two weeks after rhinoplasty. We caution patients that during the first year, there may be some triggers that might increase redness and swelling. Alcohol is a common trigger. Spicy foods, exercise and temperature changes may also have a similar effect.

Hi @Intellectual887537. I recommend drinking in moderation 2.5 weeks after a rhinoplasty. Yes, you may experience increased swelling.

Best of luck,

Alcohol will not negatively affect your rhinoplasty results, but I recommend drinking in moderation!
