Does marijuana affect a breast reduction?

Asked By:Emilyy.lauren in Vancouver, BC

Hi I am wondering, I smoke marijuana on a daily basis for medical reasons. I have read that smoking (cigarettes) can worsen your scars during breast reduction recovery. Would smoking marijuana jeopardize my healing process and make my scars bad? Thank you
