I was told to quit smoking a month prior to the procedure but I'm having a hard time stopping completely. I used to smoke average 7/day now I'm doing about 2-3 a day will that be a problem ? Or do I really need to quit cold turkey ?

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift/ Fat grafting/Liposuction/ High Definition Procedures/Butt Implants I appreciate your question. I require my patients to stop smoking 8 weeks prior surgery as well as 8 weeks after surgery. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and can cause too many post operative problems -- delayed wound healing, fat necrosis, etc,The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon

Answer: Smoking before BBL surgery? = yes, you eally need to quit cold turkey #BBL #smoking Active smoking (even 1 cigarette a day) prior elective cosmetic surgery like a BBL can result in serious complications like infection, necrosis of the fat ( fat goes away) wound dehiscence, etc. Therefore, patients must have stop smoking ("quit cold turkey) at least 1 month before surgery.
