Hello, Im havin Surgery DetailsBreast Implant Removal & Re-augmentation with Mastopexy and Open Caps Surgery. Im a non smoker, but smoked 5 puffs of a 2% nicotine vape on a night out (23 days) before the procedure. I plan to take a nicotine test 3 days before surgery. If it shows all clear can I go ahead?
Stopped smoking my nicotine ecig 5 weeks before my breast lift. I am absolutely terrified of getting nipple necrosis, if im high risk I rather postpone it further. I am 22, rather heathy besides the fact that I smoke. I read more up on nipple necrosis tonight and I am sick to my stomach. Dont want to go through with this if I will end up losing my nipples. My plastic surgeon told me i only need 2 weeks to quit before but wont go over in detail the risks with me.
I had a breast lift on Oct 3 2014. I had been smoking free for 5 months. After 2 weeks post operation I started to have 1 cigarette a day. Is that going to interfere with the healing? Extremely worried. I have had one cigarette a day in the third week post operation. If I stop now will my healing process her back on track? How much damage have i done?
I am scheduled for a breast lift on May 21. When I went to the doctor in March he told me I needed to be cigarette-free for 4 weeks before surgery. So, about 5 weeks ago I went from about 14-15 cigarettes a day to about 1 per day. This past week I went from 1 to nothing. Should I be ok for surgery in 1.5 weeks?
I had a breast lift 8 days ago and now there is dead tissue under my left nipple. My doctor is going to remove the dead tissue & restitch me up. I heard this is very uncommon but that it happens to smokers. I do not smoke cigarettes but I do smoke marijuana. Could this have caused the dead tissue?
