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

April 27, 2017
Asked By:Dnh0808 in San Antonio, TX

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.
