Rhinoplasty + Marijuana

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I got a rhinoplasty and septoplasty a week ago and I smoke marijuana regularly to help with my anxiety and to help me sleep. My doctor said that marijuana shouldn’t be an issue before my surgery, but I’m not sure how long I should wait to smoke again. I’m nervous because I read stuff about infections, although my healing is going quite fast and all of my stitches are out. I also tend to breathe out of my nose when I smoke and not my mouth (I don't know if this would affect anything). How long should I wait to resume smoking? Thank you!
