2 weeks post op breast reduction, is it safe to lightly vape?

Question

I was a light/social smoker for probably 2 years. I quit smoking cigarettes 2 weeks pre op, and switched to vaping at a very low nicotine level (3mg). Now I'm just wondering if at 2 weeks post op I'm safe to start vaping again?

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. 2 weeks after Breast Reduction, it's not time enough to express a valid opinion of results.On the other hand, generally to avoid the normal p.o. swelling, I recommend to limit the arms movement for two weeks. Also it's not advisable to carry weight and take the antiinflamatory painkillers drugs.Finally, I recommend you always use a therapeutic bra.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Vaping has nicotine and is not a good idea during the post-op period or for your overall health.....
