How Harmful is Cocaine to my New Nose After Rhinoplasty?

Cocaine use is probably the worst thing you could do to your nose after surgery. Even after your nose is healed, cocaine can cut off the blood supply inside your nose leading to septal perforation and external collapse of the nose (saddle nose deformity).

You're right- it was a terrible idea to do cocaine after a rhinoplasty. Yes, doing cocaine can affect the result of your nose. Cocaine causes vasoconstriction, which means you are decreasing the blood flow to your nose. That is the last thing you need when you are trying to heal from a rhinoplasty. You increased your risk for problems such as a septal perforation, which can require a second surgery to repair. Also, long term use of cocaine can lead to total collapse of your nose, which is not a good look. When would it be okay to use? Never. Aside from ruining your new nose, it can kill you. I strongly urge you to get help now. It is an addictive substance that can be hard to stop using once you start, so seek help now. It is not something to take lightly.
