Did I Jeopardize the Final Result of my Rhinoplasty by Smoking and Drinking 3 Weeks Post Op?

June 30, 2012
Asked By:Simplelife12 in California, MD

The first 3 weeks after my rhinoplasty I took it easy. However, after the 3 weeks I was on vacation for a weekend with friends and had a few drinks and smoked as well. The next few days my nose looked significantly swollen and it was horrifying. I'm no longer partying after what it did to my nose. My question is that could I have damaged my nose internally somehow and would it effect my final result ? Thank you!
