Can I visit high altitude places after four months post-op with no affect on my results?

Although visiting higher elevations at 4 months post op should not adversely affect your results, it will, as you've noticed, increase swelling. However, this should diminish with time once you return home. If not, schedule an appointment to see your surgeon.Kindly,Kouros Azar

I do not believe that traveling to high altitude will change your rhinoplasty results especially at 4 months after surgery.  Your activity level may result in some swelling (edema) in the tissue which will still be slower to go away (even at 4 months), but should not change your final results, in my opinion.Garrett A.

Generally speaking, travel to higher altitudes, different climates, temperatures or other natural weather conditions should not be a significant issue after 4 month. You may experience some temporary increase in nasal swelling of the soft tissue, but typically you should not have any long lasting affects to your nose. Speak with your surgeon if the problem persists.
