Cocaine and Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills
Unfortunately, cocaine use is still with us. There are significant consequences to cocaine abuse. The worst complication is its effect on the heart and blood vessels which causes high blood pressure that can possibly lead to a stroke – or even death.
Cocaine and Rhinoplasty Surgery Do Not Mix!
There are problems that come with septal perforations: crusting, whistling and bleeding. It is a real hassle. And once that hole is created, it is very difficult to surgically close it. While there are some appliances that can be inserted to act as a “stopper,” just be aware that one is asking for considerable problems with long-term cocaine abuse.
The other issue is that one should never consider having any cocaine in their body at the time of surgery. This sets the stage for a possible anesthetic catastrophe! There can be an unfavorable interaction with the anesthetic drugs as well as the local anesthetics that must be injected.
