I wanted to know if it is safe to have 1-2 alcoholic drinks three nights prior or not? It wasn't listed on my packet of medications/foods to avoid prior to surgery, so I wasn't sure.
Answer: Avoid alcohol before plastic surgery It's best to avoid all alcohol for a few weeks before surgery to minimize risk of bleeding issues from any type of plastic surgery. Consult with your surgeon if you have alcohol closer than two weeks before your scheduled surgical procedure.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Can I have 1-2 alcoholic drinks a couple of days before my surgery? Thank you for your question. Each surgeon has his or her opinion on this issue so you should discuss it with your surgeon. Alcohol intake can alter the way the surgery medications are metabolized, but I think that 1-2 drinks a few days before surgery is not going to make a huge difference in my opinion.Hope this helps!

Answer: Alcoholic drinks before breast augmentation If you routinely drink this amount of alcohol, then having one or two drinks 3 days before surgery would be fine in my practice. If you normally don't drink, then you should be more cautious close to your surgery date. It's most important to discuss this with your own surgeon, who will be responsible for your outcome, and who will have his or her own opinions about drinking alcohol prior to surgery.

Answer: Alcohol Consumption Thank you for your question! I recommend avoiding alcohol before surgery. However, a drink or two, a few nights prior to surgery shouldn't be an issue. I recommend discussing this with your plastic surgeon as each surgeon has different requirements. Best of luck!
