Question 1

i am scheduled to get a rhinoplasty in one week. i was told to quit smoking two weeks prior, which i did, but i smoked one cigarette yesterday. i am nervous this will cause complications but i really do not want to reschedule as now is the ideal time?

Accepted Answer

: One cigarette is not likely to expose you to serious risk.  However, now that you are off this poison/tobacco, do not go back to using tobacco.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 2

will second-hand smoking affect my rhinoplasty?

Accepted Answer

Second hand smoke: Better not to be around it so there is NO excuse if your healing slows down...

Question 3

do we really need to stop smoking after a nose job?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for good reason: After any surgery, healing is superior in people who do not smoke! in fact, it is beneficial to stop smoking well before your surgery. Cosmetic surgery is likely not covered by your insurance, so why take a chance that your results will be less than perfect? Additionally, you know that when you can stop smoking for good, your overall health will be better; you'll live longer - and want to!

Question 4

i had rhinoplasty last week and i feel the need to smoke hookah, are there any risks i should know about and is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Ask your surgeon: Smoking itself may not cause any problems but forceful  breathing through the nose can cause bleeding in the first few days(about one week) of your operation. Your doctor or his office assistant should be  called and notified/ for permission before you smoke.

Question 5

if im in a hookah bar but im not snoking would this change the result of my rhinoplasty through 2nd hand smoke? (im 3 weeks post op)

Accepted Answer

No effect: The low dose you might be injhaling through the air in a Hookah bar will have no effect on your healing rhinoplasty.

Question 6

is smoking hookah infront of a kid bad?

Accepted Answer

Most certainly: It not only sets a bad example for the child, it increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (sids), and respiratory symptoms and illnesses including asthma, atherogenesis and future risk of cardiovascular disease, renal function impairment, and middle ear disease.

Question 7

can smoking hookah kill you?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends upon what you are smoking.  In general hookah smoking with standard preparations is not immediately harmful to health.

Question 8

will smoking the hookah cause u to have nightmares?

Accepted Answer

No: But, in an hour-long smoking session of hookah, users consume about 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke of a cigarette. The chemical compositions of cigarette smoke and hookah smoke are different, however, as the charcoal in the modern hookah causes the tobacco mixture to be heated to a lower temperature, as opposed to the higher temperature in a cigarette.

Question 9

please help docs! is smoking hookah pens bad for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Yes, they are bad for you because you are still taking in nicotine, and because many of the other elements in the vapor (propylene glycol, formaldehyde, unknown flavorings, colorings, additives, preservatives) are of uncertain safety. And no, it is not as bad for you in all probability as combusted tobacco products like cigarettes, cigars and pipes. They are NOT risk free, but probably less risky.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
