I understand smoking wether it be cigarettes or marijuana is not ok before surgery. I am a daily pot smoker(no nicotine) so I wanted to know if it was ok to consume edibles instead to make it easier to not smoke. Also I don't mean days before or of the surgery I mean some of the weeks leading up to it. My ba is in 5 weeks. Also I have been using pot for years, does the drug test check for thc in general or only active thc in the blood? Thank you in advance!

Hi & thanks for your question!
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic/ self pay procedure. Insurance really won't cover any revisions or issues pertaining to it. Reach out to your surgeon for further guidance. Best wishes!
You need to discuss this with your surgeon. Every surgeon has his/her own policy about revision surgery. I always clarify the size of implants with my patients prior to surgery in the preop visit and they initial the size to be used. If for some reason, the implant is on backorder, I always...
Gel implants are not identical to breast tissue and do not move the same. At size 32, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. An alternative to implants is fat transfers. They are usually good for 1-1 1/2 cup size change in one session.
