Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â occasional alcohol consumption may seem harmless, but in someone with a history of alcohol addiction, recent dental surgery, and ongoing weight loss efforts, it can have risks
â
Advices
⢠Alcohol can interfere with healing after dental implantation, as it may delay tissue recovery and increase risk of infection
⢠Occasional drinking may affect weight loss goals and overall metabolism
⢠In someone with a past alcohol addiction, even small amounts can trigger relapse into heavier drinking
What to Monitor
⢠Watch for any pain, swelling, or delayed healing at the dental surgery site
⢠Observe his alcohol intake patterns and any cravings that increase
Managment
It is generally advisable for him to avoid alcohol completely until the dental implant is fully healed and his body weight goals are stabilized. Even occasional drinking can have negative effects in the short term and may increase the risk of relapse
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Swelling, bleeding, or pain at the dental implant site
⢠Signs of alcohol relapse or excessive consumption
⢠Any other health issues such as liver problems, digestive upset, or abnormal weight changes
Every patientâs situation is unique. For personalized guidance, it is important to discuss his medical history, addiction history, and current health goals in detail
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive
A personalized treatment plan
Safe guidance on alcohol and weight management
Quick follow-ups to track recovery and overall health
Take care, wishing you both good health
Best regards

It depends on the type of alcohol he drinks and the quantity consumed in a week.
Typically, the standard limits are:
Beer: 1 can ~ 400ml
Wine: 100–150 ml
Whiskey/Vodka: about 50 ml
These are safe values!....thank you!..

Since he’s recovering from dental implant surgery and focusing on weight loss, it’s best to avoid alcohol for now — it can delay healing and affect metabolism. Once fully healed, occasional small drinks may be fine if he stays in control and healthy.

Hi, I understand your concern. Since your boyfriend had a history of alcohol addiction, it’s best not to drink at all, even occasionally. For people who were addicted earlier, “occasional drinking” can easily trigger a relapse and harm both mental and physical health.
Also, since he recently underwent dental implant surgery and is in the healing stage, alcohol can delay wound healing, interfere with antibiotics or painkillers, and slow weight loss progress.
My advice: avoid alcohol completely until he has fully recovered and even then, only under medical supervision.
If you’d like, I can guide you both on safe recovery, relapse prevention, and diet during healing — just message me privately on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one double three two for personalized consultation.
