Is it true I will lose my nipples if I smoke after a breast reduction?
I have a breast reduction set up for May 1 and was told if I do not quit smoking soon, my nipples will turn black and fall off. Has anyone had any experiences they can tell me about? I will lose all chances in the future of getting laid!!!!!!
I was told this by the doctor performing the surgery. I do know nicotine slows down the healing process. There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers.
Not at all- not sure who told you this, but this is definately not true at all.
dont know.but ?t w?ll better ?f you dont smoke for your health…
yeah they will probably fall off when your asleep !!!!
no silly, they won’t fall off – you might get breast cancer though!
my cousin had a breast reduction and smokes. Far as I know she still has her nipples.
well if you do than the nipples i have must be a figment of my imagination because I had a breast reduction and i smoked and nothing happened
Wow, someone wants you to quit smoking! I haven’t heard that, but a friend of mine was told to stop smoking when she was having gum surgery. Smoking narrows the blood vessels and it also does something with the absorbtion of Vitamin C, a healing building block in your body. They want you to quit smoking because it impacts on your healing time and healing quality of life. Do yourself a favor and stop so you heal better and faster.
Uhhh please tell me who told you this so that i can slap them and you just for asking this dumb question
no, actually you’ll have a third one because of smoking
If the idea scares you enough to stop you smoking then believe it! It will be better for you!
yes it true, one of my nipples rot.
No
I’m having Breast reduction on May 12th and My doctor said that he had a paitent that lost her nipple because she was a heavy smoker and refused to quit. The loss of her nipple was during surgery because smoking damages your blood vessels and if your nipple cannot regain good blood flow it will die after being cut and reatached. Sorry but you should quit. Can’t get better motivation than that! Good luck!
