Smoking and aesthetic surgery: why it matters ✨ Quitting smoking before aesthetic surgery is not only important for general health, but also for wound healing and surgical safety. 📌 Nicotine and other substances in cigarettes can reduce blood flow to the tissues, which may increase the risk of delayed healing, infection, wound separation, and poorer scar quality. This is especially important in procedures such as abdominoplasty, breast lift, breast reduction, and facelift, where skin circulation plays a key role in recovery. 💡 A successful result depends not only on the surgery itself, but also on proper preparation before surgery and careful adherence to the recovery process. #plasticsurgery #aestheticsurgery #smokingandsurgery #woundhealing #scarcare
