I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Smoking distorts a patient's immune system and can delay healing, increasing the risk of infection at the wound site. Smoking just one cigarette decreases the body's ability to deliver necessary nutrients for healing after surgery. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
