My Vaser liposuction & fat transfer BBL Surgery in 9 days I have still been vaping with nicotine. I am trying my hardest to stop. Please can you tell me how serious it is if I can’t stop ? Or if the amount is very minimal. I’m trying my hardest and have made a plan to stop completely at least a few days prior.

Answer: Stop vaping if you consider a BBL. You must stop any kind of tobacco products including vaping. Vape includes nicotine where the vessels are affected in a negative way. And as BBL is a fat graft operation, the fat cells require a well-vascularized peaceful environment for better success. So it is best to stop smoking when you decide for the BBL until 6 months after operation.

Answer: How serious is vaping before BBL under local anaesthetic (tumescent anaesthesia)/conscious sedation? Very serious! because if doing a Lipo360/BBL under local anesthesia w IV sedation you must have your airway in control since you are in the face down or prone position for at least 1 hour+. The vast majority of boarded Plastic Surgeons ONY offer BBL under light general anesthesia , for your safety and control of your airway. Since you vaper your airway is already compromised! Why are you taking suck a risk? Is your surgeon even a boarded PS? I recommend you re think your options. Good Luck and Be safe out there!

Answer: Nicotine and surgery The major issue with nicotine use pre-op is that it causes vasoconstriction of the small blood vessels that are important for healing and for viability of fat after it gets transferred. By continuing to vape so close to your surgery you are running the risk of decreasing the amount of fat that actually takes or stays after the surgery. You are in essence jeopardizing the results.
