Smart Lipo + Smoking Q&A

Is it still safe for me to get my procedure? I am 41 and very fit and healthy other than a 2 week fall of the wagon with smoking and because I didn't want to be tempted I put on a patch, not knowing it was also bad.

I'm getting smartlipo tomorrow. I was told to quit smoking 2 wks prior. I didnt... I smoke about a pack per day. Other than slower healing are there any other reasons to quit?

Im considering getting smartlipo done on my arms and abs. I heard that people who smoke should quit in order to get this procedure done. Is this a true? Does smoking going to affact me in any way?

I am considering having the smartlipo done on my jowls/neck area. The doctor said it can only be done on non-smokers. Why is this, or is this correct?

I am having Smart Lipo and I smoke a few cigarettes a day. Other than the skin will heal faster, is there any other reason you can't be a smoker and get Smart Lipo?
