Eyelid surgery: It is important that you follow your surgeons direction regarding medications and habits like smoking prior to surgery and after surgery. Typically once surgery has been performed and you have had time to recover a glass of wine is in order.

Vasodilation: Alchohol is a vasodilator. It's reaction in the bloodstream increases blood flow, and can result in excessive bruising. One should always be conservative after surgery.
