Smoking Before Surgery? Here's What Happens (Doctor Explains)

In this episode of Real Talk with iMed Medical, we answer one of the most important questions in plastic surgery: What makes someone a GOOD candidate for surgery? Many patients focus only on the “before & after,” but real results start with safety, health, and realistic expectations. In this podcast, we explain what surgeons evaluate before approving a procedure, and why some patients may need to wait, prepare, or choose a different plan. In this episode, we cover: Why BMI and body composition matter for surgery results The role of skin quality, age, and elasticity Why smoking and nicotine increase complication risks The importance of stable weight before surgery What “realistic expectations” actually mean Why mental readiness and patience are key for recovery When a patient is NOT ready yet (and what to do instead) This episode is perfect if you’re considering BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery, facelift, rhinoplasty, or any cosmetic procedure and want to understand the medical side of decision-making.
