I appreciate your question.Smoking does decrease the chance of some fat take due to years of damage to your body. Results should always be thought of as conservative and hopefully they will meet your expectations.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.​
​Smoking before or after your surgery can increase your risk of developing complications, including infection and wound healing problems. I recommend my patients that it is ideal to stop at least 6 weeks before surgery and then 6 weeks more after surgery.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Smoking dos not only affect wound healing and uptake. BBL entails turning the patient on their side and/or stomach while having a tube down their throat. This may worsen and irritate your already irritated upper respiratory passages.Four weeks should be a reasonable time stop smoking in preparation for surgery. A laboratory test is available to detect the level of nicotine in your body

Hi. The nicotine in cigarettes is a vasoconstrictor which means lower blood oxygen levels to your entire body. Congrats! What a great start to your new look and improved wellnes.  Stay focused on being the best you can be.  A good cardiovacular program with walking just 30 minutes a day or a full blown work out regimen will help blood flow and overall health.  You will be off to a great start!  So excited for you.
