How long before TT surgery should I quit vaping?

Thank you for your question! For my patients having any procedure, I recommend that they stop any form of nicotine use and vaping for 4 weeks prior to surgery, and 6 weeks post surgery. Best of luck!

Dear StinaMarie76,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

I recommend to my patients to stop smoking or using any nicotine products including vape pens or patches for at least 4 weeks before and after surgery to minimize the risk of complications. The rules may be different depending on the surgeon so make sure to ask the surgeon in-person what he or she requires before they perform your surgery. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
