Tummy Tuck is worse and I think its because your skin is being stretched and your walking all hunchy because of it. C-sections are easier because all the skin stays! I was like you trying to figure out the pain, I was terrified especially in OP room! But I'm very happy with my results...No pain No gain :)
Honestly I cut down to like 1-2 ciggarettes before surgery from about 6-8 a day. After surgery I didn't smoke any at all because that is the most critical time and plus I was terrified of not healing right. I know how you feel that was the hardest part for me. Just whatever you do cut down to 0 and don't smoke for the first month at least to prevent complications. It's kind of easy because the meds relax you...Good Luck and you really can do it! Tell yourself your a non-smoker and look up a stop smoking website forum...they help too.
