Face Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

Will I need to stop smoking before Asian blepharoplasty?

I strongly recommend that you stop smoking before undergoing an Asian blepharoplasty procedure. Smoking can have a negative impact on your body’s ability to heal and increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes can constrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow and oxygen supply to the surgical site. This can lead to delayed wound healing, increased risk of infection, and potentially compromised results. To ensure the best outcome and minimize the risk of complications, it is essential to abstain from smoking for a specific period before and after your surgery, as advised by your plastic surgeon. Quitting smoking is not only beneficial for your surgical outcome but also for your overall health and well-being. If you need support or resources to quit smoking, your doctor can provide guidance to help you on this journey.
