Asked By:cdorre in Long Island City, NY

Stopped smoking my nicotine ecig 5 weeks before my breast lift. I am absolutely terrified of getting nipple necrosis, if i’m high risk I rather postpone it further. I am 22, rather heathy besides the fact that I smoke. I read more up on nipple necrosis tonight and I am sick to my stomach. Don’t want to go through with this if I will end up losing my nipples. My plastic surgeon told me i only need 2 weeks to quit before but won’t go over in detail the risks with me.
