Can I be on Chantix (stop smoking aid) at the time of my Lower Body Lift and Medial Thigh Lift Surgery?

March 7, 2017
Asked By:GaDawgInSF in San Francisco, CA

I started taking Chantix on 3/1 to help me stop smoking.  My  surgery will be on 5/25 and my surgeon won't do the surgery if I haven't been smoke free for 30 days.  Can I have surgery while taking Chantix?  My PCP has suggested that I stay on it for 30 days post surgery, with surgeon approval, to help get thru the stress/emotion of this procedure and not go back to my evil ways!  I will check with my surgeon, but I don't see him again for several weeks.  Thanks in advance for your advice.
