Is 3 weeks post jaw surgery too early to drink alcohol?
« on: May 16, 2013, 09:08:47 AM »
Hey everyone, it's my cousins 21st at the end of May. I had my surgery on the 7th of May. Just wondering would it be a bad idea to have a few drinks then?
If so what are the risks involved??

i was told to wait till 8th week. you still have a lot of scar tissue below your gums. you can probably feel it with your tongue. just to be safe i would wait or ask your surgeon if it is all right.
