Rhinoplasty (Dr Young Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery 1810 116th Ave NE #102, Bellevue, WA) when you are having a cold can increase your risk of complications. There are always variables though that can increase or decrease this relative risk. But with a cold, you can be more likely to have a cough after the procedure that could increase your risk of causing bleeding after your procedure. Also if you are getting general anesthesia, the cold can increase your risk of having airway issues such as laryngospasm. Most anesthesiologists will cancel a case if the person has a significant cold and with fever.
