Light Smoker Quitting 3 Weeks Before Deep-plane Midface Lift?

meticulousconsumer
I am scheduled for a deep plane mid facelift and have been a light to moderate smoker for nearly a decade. I stopped smoking but it will be only 21 days of no smoking before my surgery (and I won't smoke at all after obviously!) I am 31 and in good health. Should I be worried?
