Smoking a Little Bit a Week Before Closed Rhinoplasty?

May 24, 2010
Asked By:baibailo in new york

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.
