Smoking after BBL - would it ruin my results?

In terms of things, people can do to worsen their health and increase complications after surgery. Cigarette smoking is probably number one on the list.
The impact that smoking has an increase in complication rates varies, depending on which surgery is performed.
The overall health detriment by smoking, is fairly radical, but the influence on healing from Liposuction and fat transfer is not as great as it is for procedures, like a tummy, tuck, facelift, breast lift, or breast reduction. For these procedures, actively smoking cigarettes immediately before, and after the procedure can increase complication rates to 50% or greater.
No plastic surgeon is going to say it’s fine to smoke cigarettes but in the end, you’re a free person and get to make your own decisions.
Each provider will have their own reviews including postoperative instructions, and I suggest you talk to your provider to see how he or she feels about when it would be reasonable to start smoking if you insist on doing that.
My personal recommendation is to take this opportunity to quit for good.
