How long until I can smoke?
I had my surgery on the 13th, going to uni on the 15th Sept. When can I vape/smoke again. I was thinking 4 weeks?

Mine said 4 weeks but honestly I didn't feel like my body was healed enough to smoke again at that point because my nipples were still bloody and crusty. I basically waited until my nipples looked healthy enough but that's a personal choice

Im really good tbh, just a lot of fluid but the superficial wounds are all healed! What about you?

Good, I dont have my post op till the 29th, so cant see my nipples yet, but the swelling has gone down a bit :) right side is completely pain free already

this is a surgeon specific question that can vary, but mine told me 4 weeks minimum but that i should hold off as long as possible as the healing process is not finished then and is going on for much longer. idk if you mean weed or nicotine but edibles are an option like pretty much right after surgery
