Smoking after fat transfer?

adelfhJul 6, 2016
Hello doc I have done a fat transfer surger under eyes a month ago. At first, the result was great, but now I'm not satisfied. Is that because of smoking. I have been smoking since I have done the surgery . Should I quit now or it is too late because the cells under my eyes already dead !
