Responsible consumption of alcohol after plastic surgery for rhinoplasty is recommended when you are no longer taking pain medication and the nose is given a chance to heal, which is about 3 weeks.

Thank you for your inquiry. Once you have finished your course of antibiotics, you are free to resume alcohol consumption.
Sometimes, sulfa drugs give a disulfuram-like reaction. This means that if you are taking Bactrim, Augmentin, or ampicillin, for example, you may have an adverse reaction to your medications including redness, nausea, or vomiting. However, this reaction should not be present when antibiotics are ceased. It is not wise to mix pain medications with alcohol. However, with good judgement, you should be able to have drinks after meds have been stopped. Good luck!
There is no specific recommendation but it is best to ask your surgeon when you can have a drink. The prior responses bring a valid point, that it is not prudent to mix alcohol with medications especially narcotic pain medications as well as antibiotics.
I would wait until you are off all medications - pain and antibiotics. Agree with the other answers below.
this is a good question to ask of your surgeon. In general, I do not recommend alcohol mixed with narcotics. This can potentiate the effects and cause more sedation. The other thing to think about is that you are more prone to vomiting after nasal surgery, narcotics can lead to nausea and vomiting, and alcohol can also lead to nausea and vomiting.
It's a common question so thanks for bringing it up .
