Does Cold Weather Affect Rhinoplasty Results?

The blood supply to your nose has certainly been affected by your rhinoplasty surgery. As a result, your nose will likely be more sensitive to the sensation of cold. Nasal constriction caused by extreme cold weather may also prolong your healing time some.

A simple solution to the blackheads on your nose is light chemical peels. 

Cold weather should not have a negative effect on your rhinoplasty outcome.  You may feel more congested than usual in the initial several weeks after sugery.  You may also experience more nasal dryness if you are in a very cold area and exposed to dry heat at home. Otherwise no problem with getting a rhinoplasty in the winter. Good luck with your surgery. All the best, Dr. Vartanian.

The long term outcome of nasal surgery is not affected by cold weather.

Short term :because of soft tissue undermining and its effect on the vascularity and nerves, the nasal tip may feel colder than usual and abit more numb than usual with almost the feeling that it is not yours.

Be patient since revascularization and reinnervation  will be restored later .

For the black heads,  visit the esthetician at your surgeon's office and she'll take care of those and we'll instruct you how to prevent it in the future.

I am not aware of any studies documenting that cold wheather affects your nose. Also, black heads need to be extracted like they would any other place on your face.

Because nasal circulation is compromised after rhinoplasty, you will not tolerate extreme temperatures, hot or cold, for several weeks. At this stage the cold will not harm your final result. For black heads, see your dermatologist or aesthetician in your surgeon's office.
