How much of a problem is consuming nicotine 2 weeks before my rhinoplasty?

Asked By:evabliss in North Carolina, NC

I have a rhinoplasty scheduled for December 17th. My roommates both have electronic cigarettes and I partake in them from time to time, with the last time being yesterday. I am about to get pre-surgery bloodwork done and I read online that they check for nicotine as it causes problems with cosmetic surgery. Will they still perform the surgery/will the surgery go smoothly if I consumed nicotine 2 weeks prior to surgery? Please help, I am very worried about this.
