Breast Implants Exchange FAQs

If I am a smoker, can I still have surgery?

As a leading Phoenix breast implants exchange provider, Dr. Leverett recommends that you quit smoking prior to surgery, especially if you are considering a breast reconstruction procedure. The healing process is slowed in those who smoke because smoking decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood. With breast reconstruction patients it is even more important to quit smoking. Depending on the type of lift, there can be a high number of incisions. Compromising the amount of oxygen to those tissues can lead to higher risk of infection, ugly scarring, implant removal and tissue death.
