While any period of smoking cessation is beneficial, ideally, plastic surgeons recommend a longer period of abstinence from smoking before undergoing breast lift and augmentation surgery. The reason for this is that smoking can significantly increase the risk of complications during and after surgery, including delayed wound healing, infection, and poor scarring.Most plastic surgeons recommend quitting smoking for at least 4-6 weeks before surgery to reduce these risks. However, longer periods of cessation are even better. Some plastic surgeons may advise abstaining from smoking for several months before surgery to allow sufficient time for the body to heal and for the lungs and circulatory system to recover from the effects of smoking.Therefore, while 35 days of non-smoking is a positive step, it may still be beneficial to continue abstaining from smoking for a longer period, if possible, before undergoing breast lift and augmentation surgery. It's essential to discuss your smoking history and cessation efforts with your plastic surgeon, as they can provide recommendations based on your individual health status and surgical needs.
If your statement is absolutely truthful and I am sure it is, there should be little if any increased risk. We insist on 14 days of zero tobacco use.
