I am 1.75m and weighs 89kg My Tummy Tuck is scheduled for the 6th of December 2011. I was still smoking up untill Sunday past. Is there any fruit or food that can help get most of the necotine out of my body before 6 December 2011.

Answer: Smoking Cessation and Tummy Tuck
I would recommend that you postpone your surgery. You and your physician will both suffer if you have a nicotine related complication such as dead skin and fat in the lower abdomen. If this occurs, it may take months to heal and will never look like it would if you had no complications. Be honest with yourself. This is a cosmetic procedure, not an emergent surgery. Do everything to stop smoking before you have this done and continue to avoid all nicotine for at least a month after surgery as well. You should let your surgeon know now.

Answer: Nicotine use Before Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, there is no substance that I am aware of that will eliminate nicotine from your system. I would suggest that you inform your plastic surgeon that you have been smoking recently.
Best wishes.
