Smoking a Little Bit a Week Before Closed Rhinoplasty?

Smoking is strictly prohibited in cases where flaps are raised such as facelifts and MOHS reconstruction with flaps.  Open Rhinoplasty also places the columella skin at greater risk in smokers.  But the nose is very vascular and usually its not an issue.  Just talk to your doctor and make sure he knows all the facts.

Hello,One slip up should not interfere with your rhinoplasty results if you are totally healthy otherwise. Do not smoke at all until 4 weeks after your rhinoplasty to make sure it heals well. All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Any smoking can effect surgery in the 4 weeks prior to the procedure. Will it effect your particular procedure specifically. It will likely compromise some blood supply and it may interfere with  your recovery from anesthetics but ut us impossible to know if it will cause you to have a complication. That is similar to predicting if someone will get into an accident after they have two alcoholic drinks and then get into a car. You know their driving will be impaired but they may not necessarily get into an crash.
