I use low dose nicotine and haven't touched a cigarette since I quit smoking 4 years ago. I stopped vaping 2 weeks before my "mini" facelift/neck lift. I miss vaping and would like to resume. I can do the lowest dose or try no nicotine but I don't want to compromise my healing. Is 2 weeks post op long enough to wait before resuming my vaping?
Answer: Nicotine Constricts Blood Vessels Hello,There is no precise data, but your facial tissues are still very much in a compromised state. Vaping will not be in the best interest of your healing, or your skin in general. You should take this opportunity to end your addiction.Best of luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Facelift Thanks for the question. I suggest you should meet your Board Certified Surgeon to talk this situation. Because it's better to wait 4-6 weeks, your operation area trying to get healed. Then after yes, you can do smoke and drink. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Low nicotine vaping 2 weeks after face lift? Hello bbs2015,Thank you for your questions. The shortest answer is no nicotine at all for a minimum of 4 weeks after this type of procedure, and definitely wait even longer for better scarring and best overall result. Nicotine has extremely detrimental effects on wound healing. If you have further questions, I would encourage you to discuss them at length with your plastic surgeon.Best wishes during your recovery!Dr. Brown
