    Hi all

    Any smokers out there had their BA’s ?

    Did you continue with smoking pre and post your Op , my BF’s worried about the effects of my smoking and asking me to at least cut down while recovering , does it really make that much difference ??

    I know I should just stop but I would find it so difficult , my BF says he will cut down too which could help a little I guess. :/

    Anyway just some opinions please and also wether you did stop or cut down yourselves if your a post op smoker.

    Thx

    I smoked pre op, only managed to cut down to about 8 a day lol smoked on morning of op an as soon as i was discharged i smoke the same amount as i did pre op. I am completely fine ive healed REALLY well my scars are so tiny an really light pink, its best to stop or cut down as best you can but i was told smoking would make my scars purple an they are no where near that colour lol it prob depends on the person! some girls have never smoked in there life an heal really badly so i think its about ur own body an the luck of the draw! i think the only thing that will make me stop is getting pregnant lol have no will power at the moment! xx
