Do you think one beer is OK 5 days post op?

Question

I don't usually drink much but I travelled to Prague for my rhinoplasty as there's a better selection of surgeons than in Ireland and apparently the beer here is amazing. Do you think just one would be OK?

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

I would definitely consult your surgeon to see if this is ok to do. Usuaully we make patients wait a little longer before drinking just because of bleeding and infection.

Mark Loury, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

One beer should be OK but the concerns would be causing hemorrhage or adding to the sedation of the pain medication. I usually ask my patients to wait until they are off analgesics and 10 days after surgery. Not knowing all that was done I would clear it with your surgeon.
