Can The Smokeless Electronic Cigarette Be Smoked During The Face Lift And Eye Lid Treatment?

I used to smoke about 10 cigarettes a day, but have reduced to only 3 per day. Having eye lid lift and mini face lift next week, very nervous, can t stop my 3 per day. Bought a smokeless electronic cigarette, low nicotine kind. Can I smoke this during this waiting period and during my healing?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking to Healthcare magic.I would suggest you to get nicotine replacement therapy as per your physician's advice with even e-cigarettes(containing low nicotine) if permissible.Otherwise avoid smoking atleast 2 days before surgery,better would be 4-6 weeks to avoid any complications during surgery.I would also suggest to completely avoid smoking even E-cigarette after surgery which delays the wound healing process .Consult with and follow the pre- and post-operative advices as per your treating doctors.Hope this information helps you.Take care.
