Senior Member augustya Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 What is the Consensus from Doctors and Experts here alike when can one start having something light like Beer after a Hair Transplant Procedure ? How about 3 days Later ? Any repercussions of not getting good results of the HT Proecudre ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kharmacoma Posted March 12, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 Truth is that most probably nothing would happen even if you had a beer during the HT. Just kidding! 😀 When your medication is over should be fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 Always been told to abstain for at least 2 weeks - 1 month after surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ciaus Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 Alcohol thins your blood which can effect your blood clotting capacity, leading to excessive bleeding during the surgery and in the immediate days after when healing. My doctor said no alcohol the week before and at least 3 days after. Different people with different doctors will be told different times, depends on how cautious the doctor is in terms of having faith in his patients following instructions. Sometimes they will give an extra long period of time because they assume some of their patients will try to shortcut or slightly ignore an instruction. The reality is no drinking a few days before and after should be fine, unless you are having some unusual healing or infection problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 Alcohol impairs wound healing so I'd hold off on it for about 1 month: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2903966/#:~:text=In summary%2C acute ethanol exposure,balance at the wound site. 2 My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

My doctor said no alcohol the week before and at least 3 days after. Exactly even my Doctor has advised not to take Alcohol only for 3 days not beyond that, and any ways I am taking here about having a very very mild Beer, that too at the most a Glass of two. I am not talking about Hard Drinks here with Higher Percentage of Alcohol in it. So I guess that will be ok ? Will it not ?

Regular Member Kharmacoma Posted March 13, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Your doctor gave you antibiotics and he advised you that it is ok to have a beer during this period?
