Why Can't I Have Neck or Facelift as a Smoker?

I've had both upper and lower eye lid surgery, arm reduction and a tummy tuck. I am a smoker and am 51 years old. I've healed fine in all cases. Why can't I have a neck or facelift?

A: Facelift/smoker

Having any surgery and continuing to smoke is a bad idea.  The healing process is compromised due to constricting the blood vessels and blood supply.  The healing time will be much longer.

Is It Good Idea to Take the Pre-op Vitamins That Are Advertised As Such Before a Facelift?

I know Vitamin E is not supposed to be used pre3-op, along with herbs and anything containing aspirin or the like. Also, what about post-op? Should Arnica and Bromelain be used post operatively? Thank you to anyone who answers.

A: supplements after facelift surgery

i generally recommend supplements two weeks before and after.   there are supplements that generally assist in healing and others like arnica and bromelain that are less studied but many patients and doctors feel there is a benefit..  we prefer Vitamedica products
