I vape 5mg and mommy makeover's in 4 weeks - ok if I quit now?

It’s best to ask your surgeon. Your surgeon is more familiar with your situation and will be performing your procedure, therefore they should be notified about this so they can determine whether it’s safe to proceed.

Hi, Thank you for the question.
Regarding elective surgery and smoking or vaping, a cessation period of at least four weeks before surgery and after surgery has been recommended. Some physicians will do a nicotine test prior to surgery to ensure that the patient has been compliant and it is safe to proceed with surgery. Not only will smoking or vaping cessation help with reducing surgical complications and increasing the ability for wounds to heal, but it will also benefit patient’s overall well-being.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
