I am planing to have Rhinoplasty in the wintertime, because I was thinking that the cold temperatures would help with the swelling to go down a little faster. Now I am a little worried, that I might catch a cold in the healing progress, because I often have a running nose in the winter for weeks. Would it be better to wait with surgery till summer?
