i had a mucocele/ mucus retention cyst surgery on my lower lip 3 days ago. was wondering when it is safe to have a cigarette? is it also safe to take multi vitamins to help healing?

Accepted Answer

Wait!: It takes seven to ten days for wounds to close, and you should be as gentle as possible to the area. There is no question that having the correct vitamins helps healing. However, why not use this as an opportunity to stop smoking.  I can not stress firmly enough what a terrible habit it is.
