Abstract

French

Background: The popularity of aesthetic surgery is on the rise, as is patients’ expectations towards excellent surgical results. In order to meet these expectations, risk factors that hinder desired outcomes, such as smoking, need to be identified and addressed. To that end, the present study summarizes an updated systematic review focused on the effects of smoking on cosmetic surgical procedures and outcomes. Methods: A systematic review of studies comparing aesthetic surgical outcomes by procedure, between tobacco smokers and non-smokers was carried out, querying PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane databases. Data regarding surgical outcomes were extracted and meta-analyzed by a random effects model in conjunction with the Mantel-Haenszel statistical method. Results: Eighty-two studies were included in the final synthesis. Abdominoplasty/panniculectomy (n = 19 cohorts) and breast reduction (n = 27 cohorts) were the most common types of procedures included in this review. Other than mastopexy and rhinoplasty, smoking conferred a statistically significant increased risk of overall complications for all studied aesthetic procedures. Conclusions: The data demonstrates that smoking is a clear risk factor for the vast majority of aesthetic plastic surgeries studied. Although our meta-analysis suggests that smoking is not a risk factor for complications in mastopexies and rhinoplasties, these two specific analyses may have been biased, and should therefore be re-evaluated with future additional evidence. The results of this systematic review confirm the importance of smoking cessation and education relative to the outcomes of common cosmetic surgical procedures.

Background

With over 2.3 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the U.S. in 2020 alone, the exponential growth of the field in recent years is undeniable.¹ Given this rise in popularity and the elective nature of these procedures, plastic surgeons are increasingly striving to surpass the high expectations of their cosmetic surgery patients. One of the important determining factors of patient satisfaction is post-operative complications.² Therefore, surgeons adhere to standards of excellence and up-to-date guidelines with the hope of minimizing these complications.³

Minimizing the risk for complications becomes even more of a focus given that the aesthetic practice is based on solely elective procedures, and thus foreseeable complications should be avoided at all costs. One way to decrease the risk of complications is by meticulous patient selection and patient counselling regarding known risk factors.

Tobacco smoking remains one of the most cited risk factors for post-operative complications, and a major public health concern in general.^4–6 Aesthetic surgeons should therefore be able to have evidence-based discussions with their patients regarding the specific risks associated with smoking. However, due to the unfeasibility of running prospective trials and the exclusion of smokers in many studies for fear of complications, there is a lack of strong evidence regarding the specific effects of smoking on different types of aesthetic surgeries.⁷ While previous studies have assessed the effects of smoking on post-operative complications in cosmetic surgery,^8–12 their results have been limited by small sample sizes, heterogeneous cohorts (including both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures) and a paucity of higher level of evidence studies.

To that end, the goal of this study is to systematically review and meta-analyze the literature to elucidate the impact of smoking on individual cosmetic surgical procedures. This data will help provide recommendations for pre-operative smoking cessation specific to a procedure, improve patient selection and ultimately provide the best surgical care for patients.

Materials and Methods

In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines,¹³ a systematic search of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane was conducted with the following search strategy, restricted to English: ([tobacco] OR [smok*]) AND ([breast augmentation] OR [breast reduction] OR [mastopexy] OR [mammoplasty] OR [lipofilling] OR [liposuction] OR [facelift] OR [rhytidectomy] OR [blepharoplasty] OR [rhinoplasty] OR [otoplasty] OR [arm lift] OR [thigh lift] OR [body contouring] OR [abdominoplasty]). Following duplicate removal, retained studies’ title and abstracts were screened, and then assessed in full text for eligibility according to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. All studies for which raw numbers for surgical outcomes among cohorts of tobacco smokers and non-smokers could be isolated for a single type of aesthetic surgery were included. Exclusion criteria included non-aesthetic surgeries, studies with less than 10 patients, studies that did not stratify results based on procedure type or smoking status, and those that did not report surgical complications or only reported Odds Ratio (OR) with no raw data. All studies were assessed for level of evidence according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine criteria.¹⁴ This entire process was carried out independently between two authors and any discrepancies were resolved through consensus. Data regarding study type, qualitative conclusions and quantitative surgical outcomes between smoker and non-smoker cohorts were then extracted from the included studies. Patients were categorized as either smokers or non-smokers. If studies reported a cohort of previous smokers, we pooled them with the non-smoker group. Given that most primary studies reported on cohorts of smokers vs. non-smokers and that smoking status was largely self-reported, we favored the assumption that previous smokers at the exact time of data collection were likely reported as non-smokers. When not directly provided in the text, the overall complication rate was computed by pooling the complication(s) reported by the study in question.

Statistical Analysis

Studies were grouped by procedure, among which different types of surgical complications were also pooled. A meta-analysis of these, stratified by procedure and complication type, was conducted on Review Manager (RevMan) v5.4 (Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2014). Due to the heterogeneity of the data, a random effects model was used in conjunction with the Mantel-Haenszel statistical method, in order to determine pooled OR.¹⁵ Of note, procedures with 3 or less cohorts were not meta-analyzed (but still reported in the systematic review) due to paucity of data which would render results of questionable power. Pooled OR estimates with 95% confidence intervals were computed, with statistical significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Heterogeneity was computed using the chi-square test and formally quantified by the I² statistic. Although the effect in OR and confidence interval for each individual complication with enough data was calculated, the effect of the overall complication rate was further demonstrated using forest plots for each surgical category.

Results

Search Outcome

Following duplicate removal, 1794 initial studies were screened, leading to 217 being assessed in full for eligibility. An additional five studies were added to the full text review from manual search of relevant references. A total of 82 studies met our selection criteria and were included in this review ( Figure 1 ). Of note, some studies had cohorts for more than one procedure. The included studies were separated into 11 categories based on the performed surgery: breast reduction (n = 27 cohorts),^11,16–41 abdominoplasty & panniculectomy (n = 19 cohorts),^11,42–59 rhytidectomy (n = 10 cohorts),^11,60–68 breast augmentation (n = 9 cohorts),^{11,27,28,69–74} lower body lift (n = 8 cohorts),^{11,14,75–81} abdominal surgeries with concomitant procedures (n = 7 cohorts),^82–88 mastopexy & other breast procedures with concomitant mastopexy (n = 7 cohorts),^{11,26–28,89,90} rhinoplasty (n = 4 cohorts),^11,91–93 arm & thigh lift (n = 3 cohorts),^11,94 blepharoplasty (n = 2 cohorts)^11,95 and liposuction (n = 2 cohorts).^11,96 The majority of studies (n = 66/82) were of Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine level 2b, and all were level 4 or higher.¹⁴ Sixteen studies retrieved their data from databases (ie NSQIP, CosmetAssure, etc). The majority of studies (n = 49) were published in 2010 or later. Supplemental Digital Content 1 shows all the included studies, their level of evidence, and qualitative conclusions related to smoking.

Body Contouring Surgery

Among the abdominoplasty & panniculectomy category, smoking was associated with an increased risk of overall complications (OR: 1.64 [1.44, 1.87] [p < 0.00001] ( Table 1 and Figure 2 ). With regards to specific complications, smoking was associated with an increased risk of infection [OR: 3.26 [1.33, 7.98], p = 0.01, delayed wound healing [OR: 2.94 [1.01, 8.60], p = 0.05], and reoperation rate [OR: 1.54 [1.09, 2.17], p = 0.01], ( Table 1 and Supplemental Digital Content 2). Similarly, among both the abdomen [with concomitant procedures] and the lower body lift category, smoking was associated with an increased overall complication rate [OR: 2.02 [1.16, 3.52] [p = 0.01] ( Table 1 , Figure 3 and Supplemental Digital Content 3) and 3.49 [1.67, 7.31] [p = 0.0009] ( Table 1 , Figure 4 and Supplemental Digital Content 4).

Breast Surgery

In the breast reduction category, smoking was associated with an increased risk of overall complications (OR: 2.03 [1.57, 2.63] [p < 0.00001]) ( Table 1 and Figure 5 ). In terms of specific complications, smoking was associated with an increased rate of infection (OR: 2.01 [1.60, 2.54], p < 0.00001), wound dehiscence (OR: 2.74 [1.97, 3.79], p < 0.00001), and reoperation rate (OR: 1.58 [1.08, 2.32], p = 0.02) ( Table 1 and Supplemental Digital Content 5).

Similarly, smoking in breast augmentation was associated with an increased risk of overall complications (OR: 1.52 [1.04, 2.22] [p = 0.03] but not an increase in any specific complication ( Table 1 , Figure 6 and Supplemental Digital Content 6). Finally, smoking in patients undergoing mastopexy was not associated with an increased overall complication risk [OR: 2.00 [0.82, 4.87] [p = 0.13] ( Table 1 and Figure 7 ), nor any specific complication [p > 0.05] ( Table 1 and Supplemental Digital Content 7).

Facial Surgery

Among patients undergoing a rhytidectomy, smoking was associated with an increased risk of total complications (OR: 2.99 [1.59, 5.60] [p = 0.0007] ( Table 1 and Figure 8 ). With regards to specific complications, smoking was associated with a significantly increased risk of skin necrosis [OR: 10.29 [5.83, 18.17], p < 0.00001] and hematoma [OR: 1.90 [1.07, 3.36], p = 0.03] ( Table 1 and Supplemental Digital Content 8). On the other hand, smoking was not associated with an increased risk of overall complication in patients undergoing rhinoplasty [OR: 1.82 [0.76, 4.37], p = 0.18] ( Table 1 and Figure 9 ). No other OR were computed for this category due to paucity of data (Table 2 and Supplemental Digital Content 9).

Discussion

The results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that smoking is associated with higher odds of incurring overall surgical complications across most of the aesthetic surgical procedures studied (abdominoplasty, lower body lift, breast reductions, breast augmentation, and rhytidectomy). However, among patients undergoing mastopexy or rhinoplasty, our review demonstrated no association between smoking and an increased risk of complications.

The underlying pathophysiology of smoking in surgical patients relies on the reduction in tissue perfusion, the impairment of inflammatory cell functions, and the attenuation of reparative cell functions.⁹⁷ Mainly through catecholamine release and activation of the Thromboxane A₂ pathway, nicotine and nitric oxide promote vasoconstriction and thus decrease tissue perfusion.^98,99 Simultaneously, tobacco smoke toxins cause an impairment in neutrophil and monocyte-macrophage activity, and promote the release of reactive oxygen species, which are detrimental to the wound healing pathway.^97,100,101 However, previous studies have shown that reversal of cellular damage can be observed after three weeks of abstention.¹⁰⁰ Therefore, aesthetic surgeons should strive to provide adequate smoking cessation support and education to all of their pre-operative patients, mainly through behavioral support and nicotine replacement therapy, especially since Van Slyke et. al.¹⁰² have shown that enforcing smoking cessation before cosmetic surgery may promote long lasting smoking cessation.¹⁰³

Not only was smoking associated with a higher rate of complications in the majority of aesthetic surgeries studied, but it was also associated with a significantly higher rate of reoperation in abdominoplasty/panniculectomy, as well as following breast reduction surgery. This is in line with previous literature where smoking was found to be associated with higher rates of reoperation in other surgical domains.^104,105 Although this may be true for other cosmetic procedures included in the present study, the authors could not investigate re-operation risk for the other procedures due to the paucity of data.

Interestingly, the two types of surgeries that did not show a significant association between smoking and increased rate of complications were mastopexy and rhinoplasty. A closer analysis of our rhinoplasty cohort demonstrates that most complications reported by Irvine et al.⁹² (OR = 0.59 [0.08, 4.53]) occurred in former smokers, and these were pooled with the non-smoker group as per our protocol, which could have contributed to the lack of statistical significance between our two studied groups. As per our meta-analysis, mastopexy does not seem to confer an added risk among smokers. However, theoretically this is counterintuitive as the added incisional wounds from a mastopexy result in a decreased dermal blood supply, a phenomenon which is exacerbated by the known vasoconstrictive effects of tobacco smoking.^98,106 Therefore, this led the authors to suspect a source of bias in this cohort. A closer look of the primary studies revealed that only two primary studies^11,27 comprised the majority of patients (79.8%) in this cohort, and thus weighed heavily on the meta-analysis. Both studies explained the lack of association between smoking and complications through a pre-selection bias, suggesting that surgeons may have refused surgery for the heavier smokers pre-operatively. Therefore, “light” smokers were compared to non-smokers, which may have contributed to the lack of difference in complications between both groups.

Limitations and Future Directions

This review is not without limitations, mainly due to the inherent heterogeneity of the included studies. Considering only a few studies reported numbers for previous smokers, for the statistical purposes, the authors pooled previous smokers with the non-smoker categories, as most other studies relied on self-reported smoking status at the time of their respective data collection. To add to this, most studies did not report their definition of non-smokers, or had varying timelines for what they considered a “non-smoker”. The authors also could not account for the heterogeneity in techniques utilized for different cosmetic procedures (eg different breast reduction pedicles, different planes for face lifts etc), which may have introduced another source of bias into the results. This heterogeneity is reflected in the high I2 values seen in our results, despite being mitigated by using random effects modelling in our analysis. Considering the time and dose-dependent nature of the effect of smoking, and that certain studies demonstrated differing risks among former and non-smokers, the authors believe future studies should report numbers of former smokers and indicate their amount/time of consumption. Moreover, future studies should better characterize the effects of smoking on mastopexy and rhinoplasty. Finally, other than scarring and capsular contracture, there is a lack of reporting on aesthetic outcomes between smokers and non-smokers, which would be interesting to compare in future studies.

Conclusion

Despite the overall reduction in smoking habits in the last few decades, smoking remains a major risk factor across the board for cosmetic surgery patients. This is especially true for reoperation rates in abdominoplasty, infection and dehiscence in breast reduction, and skin necrosis and hematoma in rhytidectomy. Conversely, more research is needed to accurately quantify the risk of smoking on complications in rhinoplasty and mastopexy. The authors hope that due to the paucity of large, prospective trials, the results demonstrated in this meta-analysis can be used to better counsel patients pre-operatively, better stratify post-operative risk for developing specific complications, and ultimately improve the process of informed consent between aesthetic surgeons and their patients.
