Do doctors require a nicotine test before completing a labiaplasty?
Answer: Nicotine testing before surgery Thank you for your inquiry. While it is important for wound healing to not have nicotine in your system, not all doctors test for the presence of nicotine. Schedule a consult for a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Labiaplasty Thank you for the question. Surgeons have different protocols regarding nicotine testing. That being said, you should not smoke for at least 4 week prior to the procedure to prevent healing issues. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD.

Answer: Nicotine testing before Labiaplasty Each surgeon is different when it comes to their tolerance and policies for nicotine and tobacco products before surgery. Because the blood supply is very rich in this area, the likelihood of having healing issues from nicotine is really low when considering Labiaplasty. That said, we recommend two weeks prior to Labiaplasty that our patients stop smoking and continue to have smoking cessation for two weeks afterwards. This helps to ensure adequate healing. In general, quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health and recovery.

Answer: Generally not needed Generally speaking, I don’t think nicotine tests are considered a routine part of pre-op testing. As you probably already know, nicotine can delay the healing process. Therefore, testing really depends on the surgeon and whether they feel that it would be needed to verify a patient’s claims.
