smoking 'n' healing after op !!!

Just read a lady is having problems with scars healing do you think smoking a few a day after surgery could effect your healing ?

thats on my mind too. im really gonna try not to smoke tho, its not worth risking it xx

Hi, we have spoken to one of our nurses and this is her response:

“Smoking robs the body’s cells of essential oxygen that is required during the healing process. Smoking post surgery can lead to healing problems and therefore increases the chance of post operative complications. MYA do not recommend smoking whilst your body is recovery from surgery.”

thank you myamoderator
