In general, at least 2 weeks off smoking before breast augmentation

Smoking could adversly affect wound healing, post operative recovery in general. An important factor is the degree of dissection needed for the breast lift. For procedures that require minimal dissection (e.g eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, etc.), I ask for 2 weeks at least. For more involving procedures like tummy tuck, I like to have at least 6 weeks. The data in the literature is not clear about the duration needed for the micro vascular changes to be reversed. I also modify my surgical technique for smokers so less undermining for face lift, tummy tucks, etc. All the best.

I would say no.  It is recommended by the plastic surgeon society and the literature that 2 weeks is what is needed.  But I would recommend a minimum of 2 weeks, really want 4 weeks of smoke free, not even 1 cigarette.

It is a risk, you may be fine you may not be.  It is difficult to predict who will have problems and who will not.

Hope that helps.
