Can high cholesterol affect my nose 3 months after Rhinoplasty?

Thanks for your question. Cholesterol levels shouldn't affect nasal healing one bit. As long as your overall health is good and you don't smoke, you should be in good shape. For patients considering rhinoplasty who have high cholesterol, we would worry only about heart health so they can do well under anesthesia. That would be the only real consideration. Good luck!

Hello Dianas1530,Extremely high cholesterol at the time of surgery could affect the healing.  Mildly high cholesterol 3 months after surgery should have no effect on your result.  You may consider discussing this with your surgeon but I wouldn't be worried about that in my patients.I hope this helps and good luck.
