Should I stop smoking around the time of surgery?

-
Yes. Smoking delays healing and can cause your skin to die leaving bad scars. Most doctors like their patients to stop smoking for at least two weeks before and after this operation. If you need help to stop, contact the American Lung Association 212/315 8700 or get information to help you stop smoking from the University ofArizona.
