I am having mini facelift and eyes done. Will have been off smoking for 10 days. Is this safe?

Safety should be assessed by your examining surgeon. Your safety is maximized when you are not actively smoking prior to surgery. Having said that, there are many patients who continue smoking who do just fine. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Discuss the timing of your smoking cessation with your surgeon. They know exactly what type of incisions and undermining are being performed during your procedure. Your surgeon will want to know how much you smoke and length of time you  have smoked in order to best guide you safely through your surgery.       

Active smoking patients looking to undergo facial
rejuvenation with facelift are recommended to stop smoking for at least 3 weeks
prior surgery. Shorter times of non-active smoking could increase the risks of
complications depending on the type of procedure. For sure patients must not
smoke during the immediate two weeks after surgery to prevent facial skin flap
and or surgical incision necrosis. Patients should discuss these risks with
their Board Certified facelift plastic surgeon.
