Nicotine Declaration: Plastic Surgery

What a nicotine declaration plastic surgery form asks, with sample questions on smoking, vaping, and other nicotine.

A nicotine declaration plastic surgery form records the patient's own report of smoking, vaping, other nicotine products, and marijuana use before plastic surgery. The questions on this page are built from an American Society of Plastic Surgeons practice reference and a Halton Healthcare (Canada) pre-operative questionnaire.

Nicotine declaration plastic surgery form: FAQ

What does a nicotine declaration plastic surgery form ask?

The sample questions on this page are based on an American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) practice reference and a Halton Healthcare (Canada) pre-operative questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: cigarettes, past use, vaping, other nicotine, marijuana, and other factors.

Who fills in a nicotine declaration plastic surgery form, and when?

The patient, before plastic surgery. The ASPS practice reference also suggests asking about cigarette and other nicotine use again at follow-up visits after surgery.

Why does the practice ask about nicotine?

The ASPS practice reference names smoking as a risk factor for problems after surgery. It suggests documenting the patient's answers to screening questions.

Is it the same as a cotinine test consent?

No. The ASPS practice reference says a surgeon may consider a separate urine cotinine or nicotine test; this form records only what the patient reports.

Does it ask about marijuana?

The ASPS practice reference suggests considering it, and the Halton Healthcare questionnaire asks about smoking or vaping marijuana. AI Doctor records the answer without judgment.

What happens after the form is completed?

The surgical team reviews the answers. AI Doctor gives no advice on stopping nicotine or on timing.

Does AI Doctor give medical advice?

No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.

Can patient answers stay on our own servers?

Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
