How soon after breast augmentation is it safe to have alcoholic beverages?

Hi there. Most people recommend refraining for a week or so after surgery. It is more important if you have been given antibiotics after surgery as there may be an interaction with alcohol that could make them less effective. If not, there is no harm in drinking in moderation soon after surgery.

Hi there and thank you for your question! As other surgeons have recommended, I suggest refraining from alcohol until after you have finished all of your medications.  If you are still uncertain, I suggest asking your surgeon for his/her post op protocol. Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question. I would definitely follow your surgeon's guidelines.  I would wait until the follow after breast augmentation:1)  Your swelling is pretty much gone2)  You are not requiring any pain medication, sedatives or antibiotics3)  At least two weeks have passed and only drink in moderation

Definitely after you have finished your narcotic pain pill regimen as pain pills and alcohol can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. Most physicians want you to refrain early on as your judgement can be impaired and you could slip and fall for instance and hurt yourself and the surgery site causing need for reoperation. Please check with your PS and get their recommendations

Don't drink and heal.  As long as you are taking post-surgical drugs, I would recommend avoiding alcohol.  Your liver could be affected, and if you get intoxicated and accidentally injure yourself, your breast augmentation could get affected.
