Danger! Smoking and Plastic Surgery

Are you warning your patients about the dangers between cigarette smoking and undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures?

In a recent medical report, doctors warned the general public about this widely-kept-quiet relationship, wherein those considering to undergo plastic surgery or cosmetic treatment received an urgent recommendation to quit smoking before going under the knife.

Some doctors refuse to operate on patients unless they quit, says the report. It seems as though the nicotine in cigarettes can cause certain blood vessels to spasm, leading to complications in the surgery such as permanent scarring and infections.

At cosmeticSEO, we find to best way for surgeons to educate their patients about cosmetic surgery pitfalls like the one above is to provide detailed information and write-ups about the risks related to surgery on their practice Web site or as topics of discussion on their regularly updated cosmetic surgery blog.
