Is smoking marijuana after otoplasty bad? I'm 6 days post op.

otoplastysc
Hello, I am on my 6th day of recovery after Otoplasty and I was wondering about the possible side effects of Marijuana. It seems that when I smoke, my ears become more inflamed/swollen than they were before smoking. They also start to hurt a little bit more than they did before smoking. Is it bad to smoke after such a procedure? Thank you.
