How long must I wait after quitting smoking for a BL/BA?

Thank you for your question. I insist that my patients stop all forms of nicotine for at least 6 weeks prior to a breast lift and stay off for at least 4 weeks afterwards. The risk of wound healing complications with any form of nicotine in your system goes up dramatically with a breast lift and you have a higher risk of nipple numbness or skin loss. Good luck!

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... I have to say that you have to be careful about skin necrosis and everything related to that condition. It is better to stop smocking before a month or two before surgery, and then have oxygen treatments before and after surgery, hugs!
