Does Very Cold Weather Increase Nose Tip Swelling?

November 30, 2010
Asked By:Amsterdam in Amsterdam, 07

I had rhinoplasty on my nose bridge and a very small revision of the nasal tip 3 weeks ago. Last weekend I spent a weekend outside in very cold weather (around 25F)and since then my nose tip is visibly more swollen than before. Before other people were not able to see the swelling, however, now they do notice it. Should long periods of walking or cycling in cold weather be avoided?
