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
