I smoke heroin on a daily basis. I do not shoot up. And I do not do a lot- I am physically addicted, so I have to smoke everyday. I know cigerette smoke can cause your body to reject fat from a fat transfer or get in the way of healing. Does this also apply to smoking heroin? Or is this solely an effect of tobacco use? Thank you.
Answer: I am addicted to heroin - does this mean I can not get a BBL? I think that. most plastic surgeons would not offer the procedure until you could be free of heroin.

Answer: I am addicted to heroin - does this mean I can not get a BBL? Hello, thanks for your question and provided information. It is better for you to be out of drugs before having your procedure, not because of the procedure by itself, but for your own health. I know it's difficult, but you can, and you will. good luck! God Bless you! Advantages: One treatment may be all you need to reshape problem areas Treat more areas—and larger areas—in one procedure May be performed with either local or general anesthesia More consistent and predictable result than noninvasive treatments Liposuction, sometimes referred to as "lipo" by patients, slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion. Different areas of treatment: Thighs Hips and buttocks Abdomen and waist Upper arms Back Inner knee Chest area Cheeks, chin and neck Calves and ankles Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck. What liposuction can do? Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite—the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks—or loose saggy skin.

Answer: Smoking and surgery In addition to its adverse effects on general health, smoking tobacco increases the chance’s of a plastic surgery patient having complications and can negatively affect her results. A good plastic surgery result relies on good blood flow. The nicotine, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide in the blood of smokers inhibits their blood’s ability to deliver sufficient oxygen to their healing tissues. Thus, patients who smoke are at greater risk of complications and poor wound healing. A long history of medical studies have shown revealed the risks patients take when they smoke. A 1984 study, which followed 1,100 face lift patients, “found that a smoker was 12.46 times more likely to suffer skin loss than a patient who did not smoke.” A more recent study in 2003 reviewed 132 Abdominoplasty patients. The study “showed wound healing problems in 47.9% of smokers versus 14.8% of non-smokers.” Whether a plastic surgery candidate smokes or not is a big factor in whether a surgeon will perform surgery on that person or not. At the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, patients will be asked about their smoking habits, if any, which will be factored into the doctor’s decisions in her/his case.
