How Does Marijuana Affect Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Will marijuana/THC affect the Tummy Tuck surgery or anesthesia? I have heard this and I was curious. I'm not a user but I want to know from a doctor because you never know what you can trust just looking something up online. Does it matter if the person is a heavy smoker of it or just every once in a while smoker? If it does affect it, why? I'm curious because I know there is medical use out there for some patient.
