Open fire/smoke exposure after breast augmentation, is it bad for my recovery? 11 days post op.

Asked By:BR26 in Arlington Heights, IL

Hi, I recently got breast augmentation surgery. I got 330cc, silicone gel, under the muscle, incisions under the breast. My surgery was 12/20/17. Last night for New Years Eve I went to a bonfire and sat close beside the fire because I was cold. I didn’t realize until after I left that it might be bad for my recovery. I got home smelling like smoke and with my hair covered in ash. Is the smoke I inhaled and exposed myself to likely to affect my recovery? I’m about 11 days post-op.
