I smoke a pack a day and am having Juvederm fill up my lips tomorrow. The NP that I'm going to didn't ask me about smoking and I didnt bring it up.Will there be more of a risk of bruising and bleeding because of this? If I don't smoke all day tomorrow and my appointment is at 3 would that make any difference? Or am I already screwed..lol Thanks!

Answer: Smoking after juvederm injections Thank you for your question. There is no significant effect of smoking after injectables. However, smoking overall is going to age your face and break down elasticity. Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates BarringtonOakbrook Chicago

Answer: Smoking and Juvederm in the Lips Hi Laurenell, You're right, you are already screwed, stopping one day before injections won't have any effect. You are, no doubt, a big girl and have made the choice to smoke. The best thing that you can do for yourself (and reap from this question on Real Self) is to commit to quit smoking forever. In the long term you will be helping not only your skin and wrinkles, but how about those lungs of yours? On the positive side of things, smoking should not effect your upcoming Juvederm injections with you NP. Nor will drinking bottled water, or any of the other "old wife's" tales about those "smoker's lines". Your mitochondria will appreciate the extra oxygen they will be able to work with to help your skin once you quit smoking for good. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
