    Hello girls, very boring topic here however it’s flagged as something very serious by not only the advice of MYA but all other cosmetic surgery companies. if you’ve gone through with any cosmetical surgery you will know you shouldn’t have nicotine in your body 4-6 weeks prior to your operation.. I don’t smoke anymore however I use an e-cig with 6mg and I’ve set myself early before even had a consultation to use 0mg now, however 2 days in and I literally felt awful and weird and couldn’t sleep, very irritated. I caved and vaping 6mg again. I know nicotine in the system is really bad in terms of healing, scarring, blood clots during surgery etc and was wondering if anyone’s been similar to me and in fact they were ok? 6 weeks will be hard prior and after but damn its hard ?!? you never realise what nicotine does to your body once you go cold turkey!

    I had my op on the 9th and had been off cigarettes bout 10 weeks by then, I went cold turkey and it was so hard and even now I would jump at the chance to go have one, but i just keep reminding myself it will be worth it and it has been but its just as crucial to remain off them after surgery, after spending all that money i dont want anything to.ruin my results. During the first few days I was quiting everytime I’d get a craving I’d browse through this site and other BA forums looking at other peoples results, if I got desperate I’d even google all the health risks of smoking before surgery and scare myself silly lol whatever works, stay motivated and distracted, you can do it ?

    10 weeks wow!! That’s a good point, I’ll be spending so much money and I can’t let it go to waste, I like the idea of scaring yourself silly to knock some sense and remind you why you’re doing it in the first place! I went to Enhance/one health yesterday and they do a nicotine test on the day, if you’re positive they will cancel your operation with no refund, or an extra £250 for a rebooking! I’m seeing MYA tomorrow and hopefully it’ll all go well and I’ll be choosing to go with them?

    Hi I vaped 6mg too before my surgery.. I cut down to 3mg for a few weeks then on to zero. What I did was buy “cold shots” so you still feel like your getting a hit at the back of your throat. I also bought nicotine testing strips off ebay to keep checking for myself xx
