My nose looks awful when i dont smoke, there is groove on one side where the skin sinks in the open roof and i have an uneven and bifid tip since my rhinoplasty. But when I smoke or drink my nose looks a lot better because there is some swelling. Will this happen for all my life or will at some point my nose stop swelling when i smoke or drink? I dont want my skin to shrink wrap even more and like it so much better with swelling that covers all the imperfctions..
Hi, I'm having a closed rhinoplasty next Thursday. I gave up smoking this week as recommended by my surgeon. However, as a 18 year old male I like my social life and as its currently the holidays I would like to know when it is possible to smoke/drink after surgery. I've heard many differing responses on this. Please can I have your opinions. Also, is it safe to smoke nicotine and tobacco free cigarettes before/after surgery? Finally, when is it safe to have sex after rhinoplasty? Thanks.
I am scheduled to have rhinoplasty, a u-lift, lower blepharoplasty and co2 laser at 11a. I am an early riser (5a) and always drink a lot of water. Doctors orders are no food or drink after midnight. Can I really not drink any water the morning of my surgery? I don't mind not eating, but not drinking water makes me very uncomfortable. Can I have a bit of black coffee? It would be one thing if my surgery was at 7a, but 11a? Also I am supposed to take my antibiotic, amox, w/ food.
The first 3 weeks after my rhinoplasty I took it easy. However, after the 3 weeks I was on vacation for a weekend with friends and had a few drinks and smoked as well. The next few days my nose looked significantly swollen and it was horrifying. I'm no longer partying after what it did to my nose. My question is that could I have damaged my nose internally somehow and would it effect my final result ? Thank you!
