Does drinking alcohol after liposuction permanently compromise the results?

January 31, 2016
Asked By:LLynnS in West Lafayette, IN

I didn't know not to drink alcohol for a couple of weeks after liposuction, so I have been. I'm at 2-1/2 weeks post-op and I'm wondering if I've compromised my results by drinking alcohol?
