Is it okay to drink alcohol after breast lift scar revision 4 weeks after the revision?

Question

Three week ago I had a breast lift scar revision. I had almost full lateral dehiscencion 3 weeks post op of my breast lift with implants on one side, and it left an awful scar. Is it okay to drink alcohol after four weeks? Would it cause any negative effects? I'm three weeks post op from my revision now and have had zero complications so far. I don't smoke and am a healthy adult.

Hello and thank you for your question! At 3 weeks out and no complications it should be ok for you to drink alcohol as long as you are no longer taking pain medication, muscle relaxers or any other medication for that matter. Also....I have to say it...As long as you drink responsibly. Glad to hear your recovery from your revision surgery has been going smoothly!Ankur Mehta MD

Thank you for your question. Four weeks out from the scar revision, it is fine to drink alcohol as long as you aren’t taking any prescription pain medication or other medications that could be contraindicated with alcohol. Good luck, and hopefully your scar revision is successful for you.

Frank Agullo, MD · Answer

After 4 weeks, it's usually ok to drink alcoholic beverages. Although, you should always check with your surgeon first!

Dear Dnh0808,Thank you for your question. You are far enough out from your scar revision to drink alcohol. Best of luck with your healing!

Thanks for your question. Sorry that you had issues postop with your first surgery. You are certainly far enough out to have alcohol. Best of Luck!
