    Oh really I’m just really nervous because my nurse said they would but I don’t know if they just say that to scare you!

    They don’t say it to scare you they actually do test but it depends on who your surgeon is and they tell the nurses to test you x

    They don’t tend to test! It just isn’t great for the healing of your scars so I really would avoid it at least a week in advance. I smoked with friends until 2 weeks before, but then stopped as I didn’t want to hinder the healing process.
    If you’re spending that much money it’s just not worth the risk for a few cigarettes!

    Depends on the surgeon! Don’t risk it! They do test, but not every single person. If they test and it’s positive they will cancel your surgery.

    WARNING!

    Hello,

    I want to inform you all that if your surgeon has advised that you do not smoke before your surgery and you are found to have been smoking, your surgery will be cancelled and you will be liable of the cost. Please refer to your Terms and Conditions for further details.

    There are certain health risks and potential complications associated with smoking before and after surgery. Please speak to your nurse if you have any further questions.

    Thank you
    Love MYA Mod xx
