Presentations

Vaping, Pulmonary Embolism and Cosmetic Surgery

Jabbar Saliba, MD, FACS
Mandell-Brown Plastic Surgery Center, Cincinnati, OH

Electronic cigarettes, Vaping, smokeless tobacco with and without flavors, all are attractive descriptions of what is becoming more and more a major health concern especially for the younger population. The center for disease control (CDC) is tracking and defining new cardiovascular and pulmonary pathologies specific to this kind of products. This presentation will present a review of the significant health risk factors associated with this relatively new way of tobacco usage. Major national health entities are more and more expressing concerns about those products. We will also shed light on the importance of investigating all kinds of tobacco usage during the initial evaluation in the medical history. This element could go unnoticed, not infrequently, in the cosmetic surgery population from the patient and the clinician side.
