Smoking can make your nipples fall off - this is the astonishing claim by Dr Anthony Youn, one of American's top plastic surgeons.
The practitioner from Detroit, Michigan, was quick to point out this applied to patients who underwent breast lifts to perk up their chests.
He said the nicotine and carbon monoxide taken in during smoking can disrupt blood flow to different parts of the body and so disrupts the healing process following surgery.
The toxins can act as a 'virtual tourniquet' and effectively kill a body part by stopping blood from reaching it.
Speaking to CNN Health, Dr Youn said: 'I cringe every time I see a patient for a breast lift who is a smoker.
'Im deathly afraid that despite my warnings, she will smoke before or after surgery and cause her nipples to turn black and fall off.
'I've seen it before,' he claimed.
Dr Youn said he treated one female smoker whose nipples had turned purple after smoking caused the tiny veins in the breast to fail, leading to a backup of old blood.
Left untreated they could have turned black and fallen off.
He had to resort to using leeches over several days to suck out the old blood and so restore the woman's nipples to a healthy pink.
He told CNN he now made sure all of his patients understood the dire outcomes that could result from smoking following a cosmetic operation.
'If you are having a breast lift or reduction and you smoke, your nipples could turn black and fall off.
'If you are having a tummy tuck and you smoke, you may get an infection resulting in a big gross open wound that will take three months to heal.

I’m ‘gonna try it to see if it does work.
She said Im going out with my girlfriends
Margaritas at the Holiday Inn
Lord have mercy, my only thought
Was Tequila makes her clothes fall off
I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks Patrone
Her closets missing half the things shes bought
Ya Tequila makes her clothes fall off
(Chorus)
Shell start with kickin out of her shoes
Loose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink
Them pantyhose aint gonna last too long
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Ya tequila makes her clothes fall off
Break
She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But Tequila makes her clothes fall off
Chorus
She dont mean nothing - shes just havin fun
Tomorrow shell say oh what have I done
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost
ya tequila makes her clothes fall off
oh Tequila makes her clothes fall off (x2)
I do need a my manipples lifted.
Smoking is what killed Michael Jackson.
Smoking is the reason JFK was shot.
Smoking caused WWI.
It used to be, when catching a kid with a BB gun, you’d say “You’ll shoot yer eye out, kid!”
Now, you catch a young kid with a smoke, you have to say “You’ll knock yer nipples off, kid!”

And I thought those were just jujube’s I saw all over the sidewalk on the way into work this morning...
Or did smoking steal your logic as well? It's known to do that...
My neighbor, a nurse, had enhancement surgery several years ago and her doctor told her the same thing. Being crazier than a loon and a chain smoker, she ignored his advice; until those exact effects kicked in and she almost ended up with a mastectomy. This has nothing to do with anti-smoking and a lot to do with adverse effects of the components of tobacco smoke on healing tissues. Her plastic surgeon was also a smoker.
Thanks for the ping!
'I've seen it before,' he claimed.
