Hello, Im planning on having my rhinoplasty in about 3 weeks and i was wonder if thats enough time to quit before getting the surgery. I dont smoke everyday, I only smoke when I'm drinking and the last time I did was a week ago. and before that was a month ago. I dont know how often someone smokes matter or not but is 3 weeks ok before getting rhinoplasty ?
