I'm scheduled for BA on 12/23/16. I was prescribed Bupropion today (11/22/16) to assist in my quiting of cigarettes, as my PS said I needed to be smoke free for 1 month. Can I take the Bupropion and still do my BA on 12/23/16? (P.S. My PCP did not recommend me taking Chantix. Therefore she prescribed Bupropion.)
Answer: Bupropion. I think it's great that you're making a serious commitment to stop cigarettes and tobacco use. I cannot answer how your doctor is going to feel about the Bupropion, so you should check with him/her. I would let my patients do it, but this is nor advice for you since you're not my patient. Smoking is very bad for wounds and bad for breasts in the long-term, leading to exposure to toxins and free oxygen radicals. These in turn damage your skin can cause early sagging long-term.
