When is it safe to drink alcohol after a fat transfer to the breast? My doctor is very conservative and says 3 months.

Asked By:Carrie970

I have to think that at this point (4 weeks post-op) whatever fat cells are going to take already have, and a glass of wine once a week won't cause any volume loss. I am fine to wait the three months if that's safest, but I've not read anything from other doctors or patients that says three months is necessary. I have incredible results and a two cup size increase and don't want to jeopardize that in any way!
