How long should I stop smoking before tummy tuck and breast lift?

Thank you for your question. The risks of complciations from smoking is very serious.  I would highly recommend discontinuing all nicotine products 4-8 weeks before surgery.  Best wishes.

Hello,Ideally? give yourself as much time as possible. A minimum of one month before and after is ideal,  preferably longer. I will allow a 2 week minimum, both before and after, provided the patient's whole health picture is good.You run the risk of healing badly/slowly and as a result of incisions slow to close and poor perfusion, infection risk is higher, risk of scarring is worse...Talk to your Doctor about ways to help you quit. It will be worth it.
