when can i drink alcohol after rhinoplasty?

When can i drink alcohol after rhinoplasty?

A more concise answer would be, you can drink alcohol after septoplasty or a week after rhinoplasty, but the consumption would still have to be in limited quantity for up to 6 weeks after surgery.

 

To know how your alcohol intake can be moderated throughout different phases, and why it's discouraged, read ahead!

  • Pre-surgery alcohol prohibition:
    • One week prior to your surgery, don't consume alcoholic beverages.
    • Avoid consuming alcohol when you are on a course of prescription medicines.
    • Anesthetic medications are affected by alcohol, creating complications during surgery and causing bleeding.
       
  • Post-surgery alcohol limitation:
    • Avoid alcohol for a week post rhinoplasty surgery.
    • If you are taking painkillers, that is a good enough reason to avoid intake.
       
  • Why is alcohol discouraged?
    • When you drink alcohol, your nose may also swell up and inhibit the healing process.
    • Your body uses a lot of water while breaking down your alcohol and opens up your blood vessels as well. As a result, the body becomes bloated. And dehydration by itself can delay your healing too.
       
  • When can you resume with alcoholic drinks?
    • A week after surgery, if your recovery is going at a good pace, then you can enjoy alcoholic intake in moderation.
    • Swelling occurs naturally post rhinoplasty, and alcohol intake can aggravate this symptom.
    • The risk of prolonged bleeding exacerbates with alcohol, thus extending your recovery phase.
    • So till 6 weeks either completely avoid alcohol consumption or reduce consumption

 

For more context, we also have an elaborate answer detailing how the diet can be moderated post rhinoplasty throughout different recovery stages!

As a medical expert, it is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol for at least 2-3 weeks after rhinoplasty surgery. Alcohol can increase swelling, slow down the healing process, and increase the risk of bleeding. It is better to wait until your surgeon allows you to consume alcohol after a complete recovery.

After the rhinoplasty, you need to refrain from alcohol for at least two weeks. Sometimes surgeons can suggest an even longer period of abstinence. Alcohol, vasodilator–increases swelling and prolongs the healing process by intensifying bruising of inflammation. It also makes the blood thinner, increasing chances of bleeding and complications after surgery. On top of that, alcohol interacts poorly with any medications being prescribed to you during recovery like painkillers or antibiotics. Follow your surgeon’s particular advice and contact them directly for personalized information about alcohol intake after rhinoplasty.

Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Male | 44

While the cartilage itself does not move, its position may be adjusted during the surgical procedure. The term 'cartilage moving' might more accurately refer to the settling or adaptation of the reshaped cartilage to its new configuration. The healing process involves tissue stabilization.

I recently had a tummy tuck done, and I'm now 6 weeks into the recovery. I'm a 34 year old woman, and I was wondering, what should I expect at this point in terms of healing and results? Anything specific I should be doing or avoiding at the 6 weeks after tummy tuck mar

Female | 37

you will experience some residual swelling and bruising at the 6th week post tummy tuck. It is still necessary to refrain from vigorous exercise and heavy lifting during this period. In order to achieve full recovery and the best results, I suggest that you visit your plastic surgeon who conducted this operation.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.
