Dallas PLastic Surgeon – Q & A
Are there increased plastic surgery risks involved if I smoke?
As others have answered, smoking comes hand in hand with problems.
You shouldn’t be afraid of surgery .. it’s the cancer stick that you should fear. There’s no better feeling for me to nail it on a breast lift in a patient that has quit. Many use this as motivation so kick it and get going!
Good news and bad news …
-the good news is that this is a great opportunity to quit smoking.
-the bad news is that if you don’t quit, not only should you not get this surgery but you are at risk of developing lung cancer, emphysema, cardiovascular disease, etcetera. In other words, if you get this breast lift that means you quit .. so plastic surgery saved your life.
I’ve always been very interested in how many plastic surgeons out there do mastopexy on patients that smoke when polled at our national meetings. All I can say is that in the best interest of my patients (and in the interest of self preservation) I don’t do this operation on smokers – especially with an implant. It’s not like other surgeries where an incision is made, something is fixed up inside then it is closed (in case you had this and then healed up properly). In a breast lift, all of those tissues that you’ve seen slowly droop are separated and rearranged so that they’re perky and tight once again. You need normal blood supply for this to heal and leave tiny lines behind.
This is your wake up call .. answer it!
