Smoking marijuana before rhinoplasty surgery?

March 15, 2017
Asked By:GlazedDonut in London, GB

I'm not a regular smoker - I don't smoke cigarettes at all. But 10 days before my rhinoplasty I shared 2 "joints" with 4 friends and it contained marijuana and a bit of tobacco. The last time I smoked some of a joint before that was 17 days pre-op. My surgery is in 5 days, I plan on telling my anaethesist but I'm just worried - will this affect my healing? I don't smoke a lot and just share with my friends but it has me worried about the outcome of my nose. Appreciate the advice, thank you.
