Dr. Nicholas Haddock says Smoking can impact your Surgical Results

Let’s face it, sometimes people fudge the facts about weight or age. Well, Dr. Nicholas T. Haddock, Plastic Surgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says to be honest with your doctor when discussing habits such as smoking. Dr. Haddock reminds us that smoking can affect your healing after surgery because of the impact it has on your blood vessels.  When undergoing surgery, such as for breast reconstruction, you want to heal in the best manner you can. So follow instructions given by your doctor and be honest when discussing any health issues. It will protect you in the long run! Good luck!
