How long do I have to wait to smoke hookah

Q:

I did my nose on December 16 of 2011 and I had rhinoplasty and septoplasty done on it. I got my cast off on the 23rd and my splint out the 27th. I am just curious as to when I can smoke hookah again? Thank you

A:

No smoking for three weeks before the surgery and for three weeks after the surgery.

A:

 

 Smoking following a Septo-Rhinoplsty surgery should normally be discontinued for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks post operativily. The exact duration would really depend on the extent of your surgical procedure. Please start with your nasal surgeon to answer your question. Best,

 

Best,
