smokers…

yes, appauling habbit… i know lol. Just had my pre-op and told not to smoke 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after my op! Anyone else been told this? I am aware that smoking slows down the healing process… and will do what i gotta do.

Also… can’t put arms above head for 6 weeks?? so, not able to do hair for 6 weeks? Is this for real? lol.

Yes it’s for real hun, although frustrating. You will probably feel like you have full mobility, but your musle will have just undergone a major trauma and needs time to recover. If you put too much strain on it you might cause muscle distortion or other complications. Best to be safe when you have paid so much money! They always tell you to avoid smoking before the op too as it reduces the airways and heart function x

sorry I was naughty…cut down…none on the day…or day after…then gradually built back up to full time bad gal….x

lol lisalu.

15 a day pre op, 5 on the dy of the BA and back to 15 a day 2days post op… fully healed no problems at all………………

Charlotte, I was told exactly the same thing… I almost fell of my chair lol. Operation is 2 weeks today and so far I’ve only had half a cigarette all day (3 yesterday) so I’m giving myself a good pat on the back lol. Not sure about the lifting your arms above your head for 6 weeks though, haven’t a clue how that one will work for doing my hair etc. Very much doubt I’ll be able to stick to this one, however, I won’t be walking around with my arms in the air for the full 6 weeks lol x x

lol Kelbel… yeah, i cant bare the thought of my husband even putting a pony in my hair! lol. im sure i can trust him to straighten. hes gonna be getting up for work a whole 30minutes earlier each day LOL.

My other half uses a spray called niquitin. It makes him hiccup loads lol, but it works to help ease the cravings x

My straighteners are broke so I’m going to have to trust my other half to tie my hair up unfortunately! I very much doubt he’ll be happy at having to get up earlier to straighten to your hair so good lck telling him that one ha! Hopefully I’ll be alright to do my own hair after a few days.

Can’t get away with the spray newboobies, I’m going to get one of those electric ones I think x x

If you can give up then give it a go.. I didn’t check on here and just thought it best to do what my nurse said … I thank her for me quitting x GOOD LUCK BABE xxx

I tried to quit and failed miserably…i do think it slowed my healing down slightly though…i had an uplift and implants and straightened my hair the day i came home x

i was told told to cut down to 2 a day lol but as i was already on 2 a day she didnt have much to say but as you girls have mentioned two weeks before will deffinatly be cutting down to stop all together lol ,its not worth the risk with the money u pay for the ba also i was told theres 30% chance for smokers to get a certain condition that affects the tissue around the implants cant remember the name tho!!xx

ive stopped completely, have 3 weeks till op and stoped 4 days ago. not sure it will last once i have had my opp but

im thinking i wonna do this by the book and follow the advice to the T as this is alot of money for something to go wrong…

xx

I stopped smoking over a week before my surgery, found it so hard, now 5 days post op and not wanting one at all!

wow i have my op a week today so exited im a smoker and although i have cut down from 20 a day i still find myself gagging for a fag even though i have always said having new boobs i would stop… i have the spray to help cut craving but i dont find it works… i have about 2 a day am soo grumpy and stressed with out a cigarette is this really worthit ?? x

i quit as soon i knew i wanted an op. it was either save money for the op or smoke and waste money for no reason. cos really u need ciggys u just think u do ive not had one since april i used patches and found after the first week was easy cos i want the op so mutch xx

damn….. girls i duno how im going to give up smoking…. i only smoke about 5/6 a day but thats a must for me! i suppose i could stop maybe a day before…… but 2 weeks is askin ALOT…. ahh got my op 3rd oct….xxx

Well, another day and I’ve only had 1 all day, only had 1 yesterday too does anyone know if the electric ones impact your healing or is it best to have no nicotine a all? X

I quit a week prior to the opp but was back on them 5 days after – my recovery has been fine – youll fine your body rejects the idea of nicotine immediately after surgery anyway xx

Ohhh ok then thanks x
