Lifestyle matters
Cosmetic surgery is usually not recommended for patients with serious diseases. Furthermore, it may be too dangerous for smokers and people who are overweight.
Smoking (incidentally, also permanent passive smoking) slows the blood flow in the skin and deeper tissues therefor wounds heal slowly and with difficulty, which makes any dangerous surgery.
