Asked By:thedarkknightgfg in Madurai, IN

I'm 30 years old male and I have nearly 20-30 lipomas. Going to remove all those with liposuction. My question is, I'm a pack a day smoker and 18hrs before surgery only I stopped smoking. Will the anesthetic face any problem with me? Do I need to cancel the surgery? please help!
