Hookah and Rhinoplasty. Will I be okay for surgery?

July 27, 2015
Asked By:Shekira26 in Atlanta, Georgia

I have a rhinoplasty procedure scheduled in two weeks. My doctor told me I could stop drinking and smoking at two weeks minimum. However, I attended a party so I smoked some hookah and had some drinks a day into my two weeks. Now I'm concerned. . Is this enough time or not? When I had my breast augmentation, I remember that I couldn't drink or smoke anything for a whole month. Will I be okay for surgery?
