Thank you for the question. There are some surgeries that patients can not smoke with and other surgeries you do not have to stop smoking for as long as the patient understands they are at a higher risk for complications. Schedule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concern and the smoking. Best Wishes
Thank you for your question. As you can tell from the answers and other questions in this forum, smoking causes major disadvantages to your healing, your results, and your general health. Most plastic surgery patients are desiring to look better, feel better, and make positive changes in their lifestyle for good. I am hoping that you are one of those. While it is true that you may not have significant problems with a liposuction procedure, why take the chance? Use this opportunity to create a body that you will be proud of and a healthy life. Best of luck!Cheers,Brad Remington, MD
