When can i start drinking alcohol after tummy tuck?

Dr. Lalit Agrawal

Plastic Surgeon

Answered on 23rd May '24

First of all alcohol is not good for health. Being a doctor i can't ask you or allow your to drink. still if u want to take it u can take a little bit from 1 week after tummy tuck surgery and once you are fully recovered in about 2-3 weeks u can resume your previous intake.

After a tummy tuck, it's advisable to refrain from alcohol during the early stages of recovery. Alcohol can interfere with the healing process, increase the risk of bleeding, and potentially interact with any medications you may be taking.

To support optimal healing after a tummy tuck, abstain from alcohol during the initial recovery period. Alcohol can affect blood circulation and may interfere with your body's ability to heal.

When it comes to starting alcohol consumption after a tummy tuck, the period varies for each individual and depends on the advice of tummy tuck surgeon. It’s generally recommended to avoid alcohol during the early stages of recovery, which may take several weeks. The body may not heal the way it should due to alcohol; medications can be influenced by drinking, and complications are increased. Only resume the use of alcohol when your surgeon approves it and according to his / her specific post-operative care recommendations. It is also an imperative to focus on the improvement of your overall health and follow all recommendations given by your surgeon in order for you to have a quick recovery and best results after tummy tuck procedure. Always check with your healthcare practitioner for guidance tailored to the unique circumstances of yours.

I'm 18 and just had a septoplasty surgery two days ago and I'm struggling to manage the pain but I also have some questions about the splints placed inside my nose

Female | 18

It is common to have pain following septoplasty. The splints inside your nose are meant to support the healing process. Due to them, you might feel discomfort, pressure, or blocked-up sensation but do not try touching or removing them all the same. Follow the doctor’s advice for managing the pain and keeping the nose clean. In case of any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

can i do surgery for scar remover and dont prefer laser treatment

Female | 24

Surgery or jests of the mark to lag is frequently very favorable for those with severe or hypertrophic scars. Scars often result from the meanwhile of injuries, surgeries, or acne, which changes the skin texture and the looks. The corrective operations, i.e., excision or revision, can be effective, but the results are not always the same. The key point is to be in close contact with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon about your condition with the aim of the best individual method of treatment. Aside from that, the dermatologist or the plastic surgeon will tell you clearly how the treatment will be done and they will assist you in making a well-informed decision.

My breast is very small ... How can I get bigger

Female | 23

Uneven size of breasts is quite a common problem. But, if you think yours are too small, it is good to know that size has nothing to do with your health condition. The short breasts can be due to inherited characteristics and also hormonal fluctuations.

Long philtrum after rhinoplasty?

Female | 33

Changes in the length of the philtrum (the area between nose and upper lip) may follow rhinoplasty, as it is a result of modifying nasal structure. Although rhinoplasty concerns the nose, this operation may affect neighboring face lines. This largely depends on the techniques that are used, individual anatomy and methods of healing. Your surgeon can help you understand whether the observed changes are viewed as normal, offer comfort or advise on further revision based on your overall situations.

In Liposuction doctors only remove fat and in abdominoplasty its removing of extra hanging loose skin. Liposuction involves making small incisions in the targeted area, inserting a thin tube called a cannula, and suctioning out the fat cells.
