Answer: What are the risks of smoking 5 weeks after tummy tuck? Smokers potentially have a greater risk of skin loss and wound healing complications or infection. You can reduce your risk of complications by closely following your surgeon's instructions before and after the surgery. You have quit before so if there was ever a time to quit, now is that time. Remember you had this surgery for a reason and you don’t want to do anything that may jeopardize your final result.

Answer: Smoking after TT The risk is skin loss, and it can still happen at 5 weeks. The TT itself wipes out a lot of the blood supply to the abdominal skin by dividing many small arteries that came from the underlying muscles. Nicotine decreases blood flow by a separate mechanism (narrowing the remaining small arteries) and often causes skin loss and prolonged healing problems. ALl the best.
