What Are the Effects of Taking Cocaine After a Breast Augmentation?

As mentioned in earlier posts, they are both potent vasoconstrictors.  Which will reduce the blood supply to your tissues.  The nipple and areola are particularly at risk due to an already reduced blood supply.  Decrease blood flow can lead to infection, poor wound healing and even tissue death.  I would wait a minimal of 6 to 8 weeks. 

Do not proceed with your surgery as you are at marked increased risks of complications from both recent use of cocaine and ongoing nicotine use. You need to have medical clearance at a minimum from the anesthesiologist who needs to know of this history, and need to be off both cocaine and nicotine for months prior to elective surgery. I also strongly recommend that you are candid with your surgeon and never hold back medical details that could affect your health. There is a sacred patient physician relationship restricting him from sharing any of your medical information

Both cocaine and nicotine decrease blood flow to the skin, which can impair healing and scarring. Also, since they both increase your heart rate and blood pressure, either could put you at risk for bleeding this soon after surgery. It's best to wait at least 6 weeks, but try to make it 3 weeks if you can.

Unfortunately the two vices you mentioned are a really bad idea after surgery. However, to answer your question, I would recommend 3 months PO to start using again because most of the acute healing has occurred and it is just scar maturation from there. There is almost a 100 percent chance you will need a scar revision after that type of procedure anyway (aug-pexy

 

Obviously, cocaine and nicotine are no good. They both constrict blood vessels, and cocaine can cause cardiac arrhythmias.  Not a good idea.
