Smoking Is Harmful For Facelift Surgery: The Plastic Surgery Institute of California

Smoking is considered to cause cancer and heart disease but most of the facelift surgery patients are not aware that smoking can also cause harm to the plastic surgery operations performed successfully.

Cigarettes contain harmful ingredients such as nicotine and carbon monoxide.

Nicotine causes the vasospasm of the vessels, which deprives the tissues of oxygen and interferes with the healing process which can lead to serious complications during and after the facelift surgery.

Just one cigarette can reduce the blood flow to the wound and affect the healing process.

After the facelift surgery, if the plastic surgery patients continue to smoke, it will have an adverse effect on the recovery period.

To minimize the risks and reduce the complications it is advisable to refrain from smoking as a part of the pre operative and post operative care measures.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has board certified plastic surgeons who provide comprehensive information on the pre and post operative care measures for the facelift procedures.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is also well equipped with advanced technology and best medications to have outstanding results for the plastic surgery procedures.
