Worst Mistake I've Made After Rhinoplasty. Need Exact, Truthful Answers. What Did I Do To My Nose And What Happened?

Most of the doctors that are going to answer what I'm going to ask are going to say I should see my doctor, which I completely understand but I'd like other opinions before I embaress myself.

With this said if you have no prior usage of cocaine and did a small amount hopefully you will be fine. As you stated an appointment with your surgeon is needed. No need to be embarrassed as a surgeon with thirty years of experience I have heard and seen most everything. We understand not every patient follows the exact... more
