Smoked 1 cigarette 5 days before liposuction. Should I not get it?

Short answer...you will probably be just fine, and in my practice this would not be a deal breaker. Longer answer...there can be two effects of smoking. First, you may have more coughing around the time of anesthesia. Coughing can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, and this can lead to extra bleeding or bruising. Second, cigarettes reduce blood flow. This is more important if you are smoking immediately before or after surgery, so it shouldn't increase your risks. Discuss this with your surgeon.

Thanks for the question. I suggest you should meet your Board Certified Surgeon to talk this situation. Because it's better to wait a couple of months, your operation area trying to get healed. Then after yes, you can do smoke and drink. I wish you all the best.

I don't necessarily stop patients from smoking prior to liposuction alone.  I only cancel cases that involve significant skin undermining such as facelifts, breasts lifts, or tummy tucks.  Nicotine in cigarettes, nicotine gum or vaping can lead to poor blood flow and significant losses of tissue.  However, the person to discuss this issue with is your surgeon.Good luck
