Smoking significantly impacts the healing process and increases the risks associated with surgery. Therefore, I strongly advise you to quit smoking completely at least six weeks before your scheduled surgery date. Smoking restricts blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, impairing wound healing and potentially leading to complications. By quitting smoking, you will enhance your body’s ability to heal, reduce the risk of surgical complications, and optimize the overall success of your vaginoplasty. Additionally, quitting smoking will have numerous long-term health benefits, enhancing your overall well-being.
