- No alcohol for two weeks before and two weeks after the procedure. Alcohol can thin the blood causing more bruising and it promotes swelling
- No nicotine (cigar, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine gum/patch, vaporizer, etc) for 4 weeks prior to and 3 weeks after surgery. Nicotine impairs the blood supply to tissue and results in scarring and sometimes tissue necrosis
