Dear JBM2013,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Most casinos limit the areas where smokers may smoke, so stay out of those areas completely. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
