Can I drink alcohol after a hair transplant?

Day by day

1. Days 0–6Not yet

   Best not. Alcohol can increase bleeding and swelling, slow healing and interact with medicines you may be taking, such as antibiotics or painkillers.

2. Days 7–13Careful

   If you've finished any medicines that don't mix with alcohol, a small amount is less of a problem. Healing still goes better without it. Your clinic's own advice comes first.

3. From day 14Yes

   In moderation. Check any medicine you take for alcohol warnings.
