Answer: Marijuana prior to surgery Defintely stop a few weeks before. Marijuana can affect your lungs and airway which are important especially after rhinoplasty. Also THC can stay in your system a little no time and we aren't sure what effect that may have with other medicine interactions..

Answer: Can you smoke marijuana before Rhinoplasty? You always want to minimize the potential for complications in any surgical procedure and especially in an elective cosmetic operation. Smoking affects and delays wound healing. The exact amount of time to be smoking free is debatable, ranging from 10 days to 3 months preoperatively (depending on the plastic surgeons prior experience and preference) and at least 2 weeks postoperatively.

Answer: Smoking marijuana before and after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. It's best to avoid smoking for at least two weeks prior to rhinoplasty. This applies not only to conventional cigarettes, but also to marijuana. Also make sure to avoid smoking marijuana for at least two weeks after surgery as it may interfere with your healing process. Smoking after surgery may restrict the flow of blood to the healing areas, exacerbate swelling, and prolong recovery. I'd recommend to consult with your plastic surgeon as he or she may have different guidelines for smoking.

Answer: Stop thank you for reaching out. As mentioned before, you will not likely hear that it is OK. I would suggest you stop at least 2 weeks prior to surgery, but the best advise I can give is that you reveal any and all usage to your surgeon as well as your anesthesiologist so they can be aware and take the very best care of you. Best of luck. Dr. Kim
