Using medical marijuana during rhinoplasty recovery?

It is acceptable to use medical marijuana one week after the rhinoplasty surgery. The smoke from the marijuana cigarette will be quite irritating to the nasal passageways, but after a week will not cause any harm.

Hi Cheech, Medical marijuana is legal in California, we usually tell our patients to wait at least two weeks before "lighting up".  You should discuss this with your rhinoplasty surgeon.  In the meantime, hide the Oreos. Good luck and be well. Chong 

As a physician I can't recommend using mj at all as it is still illegal in most states. I will tell you that all types of smoking can lead to healing problems and advise my patients to refrain from smoking as long as possible. If you go 4 weeks why not quit all together at that point, you passed the hardest part.
