PATIENT QUESTION
Can I drink alcohol after Botox?
SHORT ANSWER
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours after Botox and 48 hours after fillers. Alcohol widens blood vessels and increases the chance of bruising and swelling.

The detail
Plan a celebratory dinner the evening after your treatment day, not the same night.
