Is it really necessary to ban smoking and alcohol after plastic surgery?
Smoking will reduce the oxygen concentration in the blood, and nicotine in smoke will cause blood vessels to contract and wound healing will slow down. Moreover, nicotine will destroy people's immune function and easily cause postoperative wound infection!

In addition, smoking may also cause scar contracture, leading to postoperative scar hyperplasia.

There are five main reasons why alcohol is forbidden in plastic surgery:

1, swelling will get worse.

After plastic surgery, I definitely hope my body can recover as soon as possible. However, drinking alcohol will dilate blood vessels, cause body swelling, and aggravate the degree of postoperative swelling, especially nasal plastic surgery.

2, it will lead to postoperative bleeding.

All invasive operations need a recovery period. Alcohol will dilute blood, hinder wound recovery, increase the risk of postoperative bleeding of beauty seekers, and thus prolong the recovery period of plastic surgery.

3, affect drug absorption, causing serious reactions.

After plastic surgery, the hospital will prescribe various oral drugs such as anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers to help recovery. Alcohol will not only reduce the effect of drugs, but also have harmful effects with some drugs, and even cause dangerous and serious reactions;

4. The body becomes sensitive and feels pain more easily.

Alcohol will spoil the effect of drugs. If you drink alcohol after plastic surgery, you may feel that the painkillers you take after surgery have no effect and the efficacy is not that long.

5, the skin is easy to dry

Excessive drinking and alcohol intake will increase urine, lead to dehydration and dryness of skin, and affect the healing of surgical wounds.
