I am getting a breast lift w/ implant, can I get surgery if I'm nicotine free for 4.5 months?

Tasteful529848
I am getting a breast lift w/ implant in 4 months. However, I was vaping for a few years (if I could guess, the equivalent to one or two cigarettes a day?). Well I quit a couple of weeks ago (with no interest of starting again) to prepare for surgery day, will I have significantly reduced my risk of nipple necrosis? Im worried if I should push my surgery another 6 months.
