I Am Getting Rhinoplasty Tomorrow, I Think I Am Getting a Cold Sore in my Nose. Will They Still Do the Surgery?

    Your plastic surgeon will examine you to determine if there is indication of infection.  Just make your surgeon aware of your concerns.  You can always have your operation on another day, although inconvenient.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I am sorry to hear about your concerns prior to your day of surgery. Generally speaking, patients undergoing elective surgery should be at their optimal (or close to) level of health prior to proceeding. 
Your plastic surgeon will be the only relevant resource when it comes to determining your ability to proceed at this time.
Best wishes.

If you have an active cold sore, the surgeon will most likely prefer to postpone the surgery.

If you are developing a cold sore in your nose you will need to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.  If this appears to be an infection then it may be best to delay your surgery until it is healed.  

 I think it is best to be evaluated by your surgeon to make sure you are OK to undergo the procedure.
