Suggest Opinion On Sweat Glands Removing Operation And Smoking
today i visited a specialist because i have sweat glands at the top of my leg caused by perfuse sweating. The specialist sasys he will not operate while i am smoking and this is a contributing factor with sweat glands i'm sure if i went private i would get the operation done even if there were smoke coming out of my ears! is this true?

Hello,
The specialist is denying to do the surgery because smoking causes decrease in your lung compliance which may cause serious problem during anaesthesia. We usually recommend a 1 week smoke free period before surgery.
Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
