Nose job in fall and winter Rhinoplasty in spring and summer The golden opportunity of the holidays

Rhinoplasty or nose job involves reshaping the nose to either give it a more attractive look or correct its aesthetic and functional defects. Many people who want to get a nose job are not sure about the timing of the surgery and don’t know which season is the most suitable for their operation.

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery and like all surgical procedures, it can be safely performed at any time of the year. However, you might want to know how certain seasons might affect your recovery after rhinoplasty. Or maybe you’d rather sync your surgery with a national holiday so that you can take less time off of work. Sometimes, you could be considering having rhinoplasty surgery in a foreign country. In that case too, it can be very helpful to know the best time to arrive in the country for the surgery.

After reading this article, you will be able to weigh up your options and decide on the best time to have a nose job.

Nose job in fall and winter

You might decide to undergo rhinoplasty (primary or revision nose surgery) sometime during the fall or winter. It is good to know that the cold weather of these two seasons would not have a negative post-operative effect on your surgical results. In fact, many specialists believe the cold temperature in these two seasons can offer several advantages during the recovery, including:

You will experience less swelling and bruising in cold temperatures
Less sun exposure means scarring is less likely to occur
During the fall and winter, nights are longer and many people indulge in slow-living and lots of rest. This makes these seasons an ideal time for recovering from a nose job.

Enjoy a peaceful rhinoplasty recovery during the winter.

Recovery tips for nose job during the fall and winter

Don’t let your skin dry out in the cold: The fall and winter bring many benefits to rhinoplasty patients. But on the flip side, these seasons are dryer than the rest of the year. The dry weather can impede wound healing process. Therefore, you should keep the bandages on and try to stay indoors. To speed up healing, your surgeon will provide you with ointments, which you should apply as instructed.

Steer clear of cold or flu: The fall and winter are flu seasons. Getting a cold while recovering from a nose job can hinder your healing. So, another tip for an effective rhinoplasty recovery is to take lots of vitamin C and stay warm to avoid coming down with a cold after a nose job.

Dress wisely: Wear outfits that are warm enough to withstand the dry and cold weather. In countries like Iran, fall and winter are rarely freezing cold. Yet, you should dress wisely if you are planning to have a nose job in Iran.

7 Tips to have an effective rhinoplasty recovery during the summer

As much as it is tempting to nosedive into pools and lakes during the summer, you should avoid the leisure activity if you are recovering from a rhinoplasty.

Control your allergy: The only downside of getting a nose job during the spring is the allergic reaction you might experience. During the springtime, the number of allergens in the air increases. This makes recovery somehow difficult for patients who may have hay fever. If you are likely to experience severe sneezing, uncontrolled runny nose, and itching, it is wise to control your allergy before opting for a nose job during the spring.

Do not get into the water: Swimming during the first few weeks after nose job can lead to infection or damage the surgical results. So, as much as it is tempting to nosedive into pools and lakes during the summer, you should avoid the leisure activity if you are recovering from a rhinoplasty.
