I'm getting my implants removed Friday and am going to wait 6 months to a year before doing a lift (if needed). Is it possible to have a breast lift while on Chantix? I need to quit smoking which is another reason I'm waiting to have one. I want to be nicotine free for as long as possible so my nips don't fall off! I have attached a photo of my breasts prior to implants. Based on this photo what kind of lift do you suggest? (I will probably be slightly more saggy than this photo shows) Thanks in advance!
Answer: Chantix and Surgery Ok? It is fine for you to be taking Chantix during surgery - there is no contraindication. I think it's great that you are doing this in 2 stages. You can see where you land after implant removal and make a solid decision on breastlift. Looking at your photos, it seems that you will do fine with a limited incision, either around the areola or a lollipop. Best of luck!

Answer: Quitting Smoking and Breast Lift Two things. 1. Great job quitting smoking. 2. Perfectly reasonable idea to go in stages. The biggest detriment to a staged procedure is in the cost of two operations. Recovery from either should not be dramatic. The money you save without cigarettes will very likely, in time, pay for your second operation. Regarding type of lift, you appear to be a good candidate for a vertical or circumvertical breast lift. This rearranges the breast tissue, not just the skin, and limits the incision to around the areola and below the breast.Best,Dr. Pyle

Answer: Breast lift and chantix I would recommend you hold off and do the surgeries at the same time when off cigarettes. Smoking will hurt your wound healing from removal of the implants as well. You will probably need a lift, so why not use only one recovery period.
