Nicotine and Rhinoplasty question. Can this effect the outcome of nasal surgery or increase any risks associated with it?

I've quit smoking because I want a nose job really badly & for my health of course but I quit w/the hell of Nicorette gum, which I am now chewing often. Can this effect the outcome of nasal surgery or increase any risks associated with it?
