I am 1 week pre-op and yesterday I smoked a blunt- marijuana wrapped in a tobacco leaf. I've stayed away from tobacco for 2 weeks pre-op (I was a very light smoker, anyway). Would this one slip effect the surgery very much? I'm 18 and healthy otherwise.

Swelling after surgery is normal and will resolve with time. A short course of steroids with medication such as a Medrol Dose Pak may or may not help, but it will do no harm.
I need more information to completely answer your questions; however, when the tip of the nose goes up the upper lip looks longer and while there is some swelling in the upper lip muscles the lip seems to move less. Give it time and all should even out.
