These photographs show before surgery and 4 months after combined abdominoplasty and reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction) surgery. During the abdominoplasty surgery, Dr Avery excised over 3.3 kg of excess skin and tissue in addition to 200ml of fat removed via liposuction. During the breast reduction, there was 219g removed from the left breast and 239g removed from the right breast, which also addressed some minor breast asymmetry. Scars from surgery are permanent and will generally settle and fade over time, with up to 18 months before the final result can be seen https://hubs.la/Q03Wz8_k0

True – Ni****ne, whether from ci******es, e-ci******es (va**ng), or other products, can reduce blood flow to your tissues. This can slow healing, increase the risk of complications, and affect the quality of your surgical results.

Every surgery, whether big or small, relies on your body’s ability to heal well. Smoking and ni****ne products (including va**ng) can affect circulation, reduce oxygen delivery, and delay recovery, which may impact both your results and your safety.

If you’re considering surgery, stop smoking and all ni****ne use well before your surgery. This gives your body the best chance to recover, reduces some risks of surgery, and supports your healing.

Cosmetic surgery is only one option available to individuals considering a change to their appearance. It may not be suitable for everyone. All surgical procedures carry risks, including potential complications, variable recovery experiences, and unpredictable outcomes. The results of any surgery are influenced by a range of individual factors, such as genetics, medical history, lifestyle, diet, and adherence to post-operative care.

Recovery requires appropriate time, support, and aftercare, and may include discomfort, absence from work, and temporary restrictions on daily activities. Experiences of pain, healing timelines, and outcomes differ greatly between individuals.
