Will drinking alcohol after liposuction and BBL prolong the healing process?

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist
Drinking alcohol can certainly delay your healing process.  Alcohol should not be consumed until pain meds are completely stopped.  Please speak to your current surgeon for his/her post-op care instructions. 
I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its recommended the 3 month for recovery after surgery , eat healthy , rest , doing excersise(with the surgeon get you ok to start) and yes you can drink alcohol but not excesss...its much better if you ask your surgeron

It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different. Alcohol should not be consumed until pain meds are stopped.  Consumption of alcohol can also lead to dehydration and dry skin during the healing process.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

You should discuss with your plastic surgeon what he or she recommends for drinking alcohol.  I usually recommend to my patients they stay away from alcohol for at least 3 weeks.  

Dear Gris0123,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

HI. As you should know drinking alcohol while you are in antibiotic therapy will not allow the antibiotic make the effect wanted to prevent infection. So no alcohol consumption is recommended in right after surgery.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

Would not recommend drinking prior to or after surgery of any kind. But the most detrimental complications will occur following smoking (cigarettes or marijuana) so please avoid these smoking items.
