Question:
I've heard that smokers are not good candidates for fat injection because the fat doesn't take when transplanted. Is this true?
Answer:
Smoking reduces the blood supply to the face and for that reason fat injections or other surgical procedures may not take as well as someone who does not smoke. That said, many smokers have wonderful results with procedures from facelifts to fat injections, they just have to understand that they increase their risk of side effects from smoking.
