Giving up smoking

Is/has anyone else giving or has given up smoking for their new boobies? I saw Mr Russo yesterday and he said no smoking 2 weeks pre and post op, so I thought might as well stop now, and if I’m a non smoker after I’ve had them done I’ll have more money to spend on new clothes and bras

But all I can think of is fag fag fag fag!!

Is there anyone else in the same position as me or has been? + Does smoking/not smoking really affect the healing process? xx

I’ve got to give up for my procedure. I’m giving myself another week…. then I should have about 6 week before my op

It’s so hard giving up my ops in a month so I’ve got 2 weeks left to smoke but I thought might as well quit now so I’m not stressed around surgery time xc

its 5 days before my op and ive cut down from 15 to about 7 finding it soo hard to quit. I no other people that have carried on smoking i no i should stop but finding it to hard scared about my healing process now though. xx

I did not stop at all.. smoked 15 a day pre op and 15 day post op…. only had three on the day of my BA xxx

I healed fine and had no difficulties xx

I wud say personal choice – but in all fairness if u can cut right down or stop even better xxx

Ive not smoked since about 6pm last night I feel sick and depressed, but I want my boobs more than smoking so best try sticking at it! Good luck to those who are also cutting down and quitting will all be worth it xx

Mr Russo said I need to stop before he could operate on me, does he say this to all his patients? Because he only looked at my boobs I’ve got my medical on sat with the nurse xx

I was advised to stop by both my surgeon and my nurse – if u can cut down or stop fantastic, i just found it very difficult…. but thankfully i had no probs at all

I think its persoanlly down to you xxx i was scared as i did not stop – in fact as soon as i came round from the anaethetic i went for a cig and went a very off white colour (which is quite funny cause I’m Indian) and felt faint.. nurses to the rescue lol x

I’m going to give quitting a go will save me money as well as my health:) but quitting is do hard I feel really sick xx

im glad i gave up i wanted my boobs done for 12 years and nothing was going to stop me. i gave up 2 months before my op and its now been 4 months x

I had my BA 8days ago and didnt give up i couldnt – i cut down but thats it – my boobs are doing fine opp was fine and well im now back to smoking around 20fags aday and thank g-d alls well xx good luck in your choice xx

Yeah I got told by my surgeon, Mr Falladhar, that I would need to be completely nicotine free 4 weeks before the op or he will not operate on me. I’m having an uplift and he said that my nipples would fall off if I continued to smoke!! LOL!!

So i’m definitely giving up.

I have smoked through small ops and never had a problem with the healing..I just don’t want to risk it though.

Have you tried nicotine lozengers? Normal size or the mini ones? I’ve found that they help a lot when cutting down. They keep your mouth busy!!

I’m starting to use them to cut down with… maybe give them a try.

OR Paul McKenna book with hypnosis CD…. Its weird but it kind of works.

Hope it all goes well, feel free to add me if you need support through this!! Cause i’ll be doing it too soon

I’ve tried nicotine replacement in the past and it never seems to work when’s your op? And good luck with quitting xx
