What happens if you drink alcohol after getting a face-lift injection?

After the injection of face-slimming injection, the doctor will generally advise the recipient not to drink alcohol or eat spicy food. Indeed, since it is a treatment, you should pay more attention to your diet after the operation. Alcohol not only makes the medicine ineffective, but also affects the healing of wounds. In summary, drinking alcohol after a face-slimming injection will affect the healing of the needle hole, affect the face-slimming effect, cause facial pain, and aggravate redness and swelling.

1. Affect the healing of needle holes

Drinking alcohol after a face-slimming injection will likely prolong the recovery period of the injection. This is because alcohol dilutes the blood and affects the body's blood supply to repair cells, making it difficult for the wounds after face-slimming injections to recover. In addition, drinking alcohol may cause wound allergies. In severe cases, it may also cause wound infection, which is not conducive to rapid recovery of the wound. It is recommended that girls who love beauty should stop drinking alcohol one month after getting the face-slimming injection, or try to drink less alcohol to avoid affecting the effect of the face-slimming injection.

2. Affects the effect of face slimming

Drinking alcohol after receiving a face-slimming injection will directly affect the effect of the face-slimming injection. Drinking alcohol affects the face-slimming effect because face-slimming injections are biological agents with certain biological activity. Tobacco and alcohol will affect the absorption and activity of biological agents, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of face-slimming injections.

3. Cause facial pain

All drinks contain alcohol, and the intake of alcohol makes patients who have received face-slimming injections feel that the wounds left after the injections are very painful. This is a manifestation of the worsening of the wounds in the injection area under the stimulation of alcohol, and it may also lead to some sequelae.

4. Increased redness and swelling

Some people will experience slight redness, swelling and bruising after receiving a face-slimming injection. They should not drink alcohol at this time because redness and swelling are a mild inflammatory reaction, and drinking alcohol will dilate blood vessels. Alcohol stimulates the body's blood circulation and aggravates redness, swelling and bruising.

5. Do not drink alcohol if you are not recovering well

Some people may experience unnatural smile, "uneven face" and difficulty swallowing after receiving a face-slimming injection. In this case, you must not drink alcohol, because alcohol intake is more likely to cause muscles to become more relaxed and atrophied, which may aggravate the symptoms of unnatural smile and difficulty swallowing.
