Ill be honest i didnt stop, i cut down by like one or two but that was it and i smoked like 30 min before i went into surgery and as soon as i was discharged, i carried on as normal lol was told to stop but couldnt. Ive healed amazingly well considering i was told my scars would be purple if i smoked there really light, everyones diff but if i could of stopped i would, so maybe try ur best xx

The morning of my op my surgeon made one of the patients take a test cos he didn’t believe she had stopped. . She then admitted to having half a cigarette the day before and he sent her home!!! So just be aware I don’t know about all of them but Dr Adamo I know for sure is really strict about it xx

I couldn’t stop either but I cut down as much as I could! I didn’t smoke the mornin of my op but soon as I wa in the car on the way home I had a fag and then kept smoking as normal! I have healed pretty good so I think it depends on the person x

Gals just be careful wot u post – they make a note of pre op gals who dont stop smoking and put it in ur medicals notes and if u have trouble healing they then say it was cause of ur smoking!! be careful

Just stop smoking, honestly. Especially the 5-7days prior. They’re only saying it because it will help YOU. X
