Is smoking after a breast augmentation detrimental to recovery?

July 7, 2017
Asked By:Dapho99 in Footscray

I have had my breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago from today. And I know this is detrimental to recovering but I couldn't help it due to stress so I have had 4 cigarettes in the stretch of one week, which is the second week from my surgery. I promised myself that after the 4th ciggarette, I will have no more until it heals. What are the complications that I could face by just having 4 cigarettes 2 weeks from my surgery?
