Definitely stop smoking! Smoking reduces circulation to the skin and impedes healing. While you should ideally stop smoking for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your BBL, you must NOT smoke for a minimum or 24 hours before and 24 hours after surgery.
Thank you for your question. From a professional point of view I recommend stop smoke at least one month prior surgery, however, your doctor might refer you to a specialist to make sure everything is under control.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
Hello @mahogani08 thank you for your question. Stop smoking 15 days prior to having surgery is one of the recommendations that I always give my patients for diminishing risks and better healing process, is also important to avoid excessive food and alcoholic beverages, not to take medications with anticoagulant effects a couple of weeks before surgery. Best wishes!
Dear mahogani08,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

I would want to speak with the hematologist and have full lab panel to check your clotting cascade. This is purely elective cosmetic surgery so there is no need to risk your health.
