Does smoking post rhinoplasty have any effect on the overall nose shape?

RSMember874536
*I am 7 months post op* I waited about 2 weeks after my rhinoplasty to start smoking cigarettes. I had stopped smoking 2 weeks before my surgery as well. I had read many different time frames for smoking after a rhinoplasty procedure. I am naturally an over-worrier. My question is, is smoking after rhinoplasty related to the healing/ scarring, or could it have had any effect on the overall shape of my nose, IE the shape of the tip?
