    Just wondering, does Dr Andrea do nicotine testing? Nobody mentioned him here as it is with other surgeons. I have my op booked for Feb, I had one sneaky fag today as I just couldnt resist. I cut donw and so on from 7 fags a day to nothing with my 0% vape, but Im just worried that one fag gonna loose me a chance of having my op done. Any advise ladies? Im having it done in Preston.
    Sooo scared now!

    Feb is such a long time from now. 2 weeks is enough for your body to get rid of nicotine and doesn’t show Nicotine in the test. Dont worry xx

    Thanks for reply. I am so scared as its not just a standard enlargement. Im having lift and implants for which doctors are more stricked with smoking than in standard procedures. I heard of two surgeons that dont test on nicotine but unfortunately, they dont do breast lift. Theres not much of an info here on Dr Andrea. I seriously dont want to loose a chance as that date set for me is happening only once a year.

    I know what you mean i had an uplift as well and thats why i had to quit for my own safety. My doctor told me I don’t do nicotine tests and I will operate on you either way however its up to you to accept the consequences of you not quitting. He knew how to scare me, quitting before the surgery gives your skin more elasticity for him to uplift properly, they measure the oxygen level in the blood and if its low he will not lift much (ofcourse you know when you smoke your blood oxygen level becomes really low). So if I didn’t quit before by a good 4 weeks at least he wont be able to lift my boobs properly and i would have thrown this money in the bin. You have to quit after for your healing, for the wound to close, for you not to get infections etc.. blood rushes to injured places in your body to heal them but if that blood lacks enough oxygen your tissues might die, i heard horrific stories about nipples falling. He didn’t force me to quit but he made me too scared so i had to quit, i was a heavy smoker 2 packs a day and i went cold turkey, so i am sure you can do it. Now i cant wait to go back to smoking

    In my first reply i was just comforting you that no nicotine will not show in a test done more than 2 weeks after your last cig. But thats the legal side of the story if you only care about if the doctor will operate on you or not. But then i just felt like giving you my 2 cents, there are more important issues associated with you smoking more than that lame test
