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!

Answer: When is it safe to drink alcohol after a fat transfer to the breast? My doctor is very conservative and says 3 months. The fat volume loss that occurs after fat transfer happens over 3-6 months after your surgery. This means you do not reach your final size for 3-6 months. At 4 weeks your results are not final. You are correct in that you drinking or not does not change the final outcome at this point as the outcome of the fat cells have already been decided, but the volume loss will keep occurring for many more months. You will not keep the 2 cup size increase. You should not drink if you are still taking medications prescribed by your doctor and you should not drink if there is still concerns with bruising, bleeding or seroma.
