Smoking and Surgery: A Risk to Healing and Aesthetic Outcomes

2025-01-14T14:19:38+09:00

Smoking significantly impacts post-surgical healing, especially in breast surgeries and tummy tucks, by constricting blood vessels and reducing oxygen supply. This can lead to complications like necrosis, delayed healing, and hypertrophic scarring. Ensuring adequate blood flow is critical for optimal recovery and aesthetic results. To minimize risks, smokers should quit at least one week before surgery and remain smoke-free for at least two weeks postoperatively. Prioritizing this step improves healing outcomes and overall surgical success.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative procedure that enhances body contour and boosts confidence. However, like any major surgery, minor post-operative issues can arise, with seroma being one of the most common. Seroma occurs when fluid accumulates in the surgical area due to disrupted lymphatic flow. While typically harmless, proper prevention and management—such as compression garments, balanced activity, and drain care—are essential for a smooth recovery. Learn how to minimize risks and handle seroma effectively for optimal healing.
