According to authoritative American plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, smoking can lead to a falling away nipples. Smoking is a risk factor for breast lift operations and may cause the development of gangrene.
According to the doctor, the nicotine in combination with carbon monoxide released during smoking can disrupt blood flow to certain parts of the body. That may adversely affect the healing period.
Toxins act as "virtual turnstile", destroying parts of the body, deprived of blood supply.
"I am horrified every time when I was a smoker for a breast lift. And so afraid that, despite my strict ban, it will still continue to smoke before and after the procedure. As a result, the nipples turn black quickly, and then die out altogether. I This naglyadelsya "- says Youn.
Dr. Youn told about one of his patient, heavy smokers, in which after breast lift nipples are purple. The reason for this was the stopping of blood supply in this zone. If you do not start timely treatment, the nipples quickly begin to turn black and fall off. Return the patient to a healthy pink nipples and nipple to prevent falling, the doctor could help with the leeches, which in a few days old blood was aspirated.
I always warn patients about the consequences if they do not quit smoking before surgery. If you make a breast lift or reduction, the nipple may fall away. If you go through a tummy tuck, you risk to get severe infection, which does not take a few months. After the face lift the skin on the cheeks will turn black and begin to descend, exposing a layer of fat, "commented the doctor.
