I am scheduled for a mommy makeover ( breast lift and augmentation and tummy tuck with lipo) in 2 weeks, 13 days to be exact. I have been about a half a pack a day smoker for 11 years. Is 14 days enough time to quit before my procedure?

Answer: Smoking and Mommy Makover My typical recommendation when a patient is undergoing a tummy tuck and breast lift and augmentation is to quit smoking 2-3 months prior to your surgery date.

Answer: No nicotine 2 weeks before mommy makeover We require our patients to have quit smoking 2 weeks before a tummy tuck, breast lift, or facelift because of the specific risks of healing associated with nicotine exposure. Keep in mind that you haven't really quit until whatever withdrawal symptoms you will have are over as well; until then it is just good intentions.
