When Can I Resume Drinking Alcohol After Surgery
Hi, this is Dr. Joseph Shvidler from seattlefacial.com. I'm here to answer one of the most frequently asked questions that we get asked in our clinic. When can I resume consuming alcohol after surgery? Well, there's no clear-cut evidence on when you can restart taking alcohol. But here's in my humble opinion, these are the best practices. You want to hold off for about one to two weeks after surgery. And here's the reason why. First of all, you may be taking some pain medications afterwards that may interfere with the alcohol and may cause some side effects. Secondly, your body has to heal and recalibrate. Um, alcohol is known to reduce wound healing and reduce platelet function. And third of all, you may be taking some other chronic illness medications that also have to be resumed and recalibrate in your system. So my best advice is to hold off alcohol for one to two weeks after surgery
