Drinking a week after smartlipo?

You should really ask your surgeon first. It may be okay to drink alcohol if you're not too swollen and you're recovering well. I wouldn't suggest you drink too much, though, because it could compromise your healing. 

Alcohol is more of a problem prior to the procedure as it can increase the chance of poor wound healing and bruising/swelling.  7-10 days after the procedure it is okay to drink.  I never suggest binge drinking ever anyway.  However, if you want the best results from your procedure, you would eat right and exercise post treatment to ensure the swelling subsides quicker and you get more even healing with skin tightening.  I would avoid alcohol, drugs or high salt foods. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your
question. Consuming alcohol before your procedure can be an issue thinning your
blood. After Smartlipo I would wait at least a week to make sure you are
healing properly before alcohol consumption. Follow up with your doctor and
continue to wear your compression garment.
