How Many Days After a Plastic Nose Surgery Can We Smoke Shisha or a Ciggarette?

Question

Donn R. Chatham, MD · Answer

An elective surgery designed to improve one's appearance requires  good healing for success.  Smoking reduces circulation and works against ideal healing. So the 2 weeks before an elective surgery may be a good  time to refrain from smoking, and this should be  continued after surgery for several weeks during the healing process. If one can successfully achieve this, then TWO good things can come your way:  a nice surgical result and a healthier life!

You should not smoke after your rhinoplasty.

Smoking and surgery do not mix well in the sense that smoking can impair wound healing and cause tissue death.  Best to avoid smoking both befory and after surgery.
