Thank you for your question. At three weeks post op you probably don't have much to worry about from smoking marijuana. Most physicians say 3-4 weeks after surgery is optimal for not smoking any substances, so you may want to error on the side of caution. Best of luck to you.
Hi and thank you for your question. It is very exciting that you have progressed to this point in your recovery! I advise my patients not to smoke for 3 weeks before and 6 weeks after. I also advise them to avoid second hand smoke. This is something that you need to talk to your surgeon about since I am sure they have a set of guidelines and they also know how your healing is progressing from your last visit. Best wishes for a successful recovery,
In general, I tell my patients that they need to stop smoking 4 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after in order to have proper wound healing.I would say this would be a good question to ask your plastic surgeon as your plastic surgeon may have a different postoperative care plan.Hope that helps.

No smoking for one month ensures that your incisions have healed at least 40 to 60% thus avoiding wound break down.
Abdominoplasty usually involves repairing a muscle separation and often liposuction, as well as removing excesss skin. All of these manoeuvres should help you achieve a "six pack". Regards, Dr Steve Merten, Sydney

This scar can be revised, and waiting a year is a good idea, although it may not require a full year for everything to soften up. It may be possible to bring the upper points of the triangle closer together to make the belly button more vertical, and recruit some of the skin between to make the...
