It is important to note that smoking can significantly impact the healing process after plastic surgery. Smoking reduces blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues, impairs wound healing, increases the risk of complications, and may result in poor surgical outcomes. To optimize healing and reduce the risk of complications, it is strongly advised to quit smoking at least several weeks before and after the procedure.
