Can Smoking Affect Rhinoplasty ?

Hi I got rhinoplasty done and i admit i gave up and smoked 8 days after. i smoked 2 on the 8th day, 3 on th 9th, and another 3 today. im really scared my nose is going to be crooked now. i dont want anything to do with them now. my nose looks great and i dont want to ruin it. and dont want to smoke till its safe to smoke again (which hopefully ill be disgusted with by then) . will my nose be okay? im so scared.

hi
your nose will be okay as smoking doesnt affect your post operative recovery of rhinoplasty but it is better if you stay away from smoking at least for 3 months.

take precautions from any external injuries, dust etc..

hope i have cleared your query
