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.
