Will resuming vaping at a low nicotine dose 2 weeks after a facelift damage my healing?

April 26, 2016
Asked By:bbs2015 in Denver, CO

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?
