Question

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!

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
