I am scheduled for rhinoplasty on Tuesday 10/21. On 10/11 I got bronchitis and started taking antibiotics the next day. I have finished the antibiotic series and am feeling 100% better, but still have a bit of a cough. My doctor said I should be fine for surgery on Tuesday as long as I keep resting and improving. Is it ok to have the rhinoplasty if I have a small cough? I'm worried there will be complications.

Having Gortex in your nose should not affect your ability to have an MRI. Review it with the radiologist ahead of time for the best answer.

Dear Ebebe,It is not necessary to trim your nasal hair before a rhinoplasty. If your nasal hair is deemed too long then the surgeon can trim them on the operating room table.
