Posted under Liposuction q&a

I smoked two packs one week before my surgery. Will there be any complications even if I don't smoke between now and then?

I have my appointment for abdominal and lower back liposuction for the 18th of July. So 7 days from today and I had quit for two weeks prior. Then i caved and had 2 packs and just finished the 2nd pack today. Am i in serious risk for complications if I stay clean for the next 7 days until my surgery.
