Rhinoplasty in Patient with Asthma

Over the past 35 years we have done many patients with asthma after consultation with their physician. An anesthetist or anesthesiologist has control of the airway during the procedure. Very rarely it may be necessary to administer medication to clear the lungs after surgery. Cost will vary depending on your location and the experience of your surgeon.

Asthma and rhinoplasty

IT is possible to have a rhinoplasty even if you have asthma. Depending on how severe your asthma is you may need pre-operative clearance from your primary care doctor and/or the anesthesiologist who works with your surgeon. The main issue is to make sure your asthma is well controlled.

We do rhinoplasty on patients with asthma after proper clearance from their doctor and our anesthetist. That way patient safety is assured.

Rhinoplasty and asthma

It is ok to have a rhinoplasty if you have asthma provided that your asthma is under control. A medical clearance may be necessary depending upon your history.

Rhinplasty and Asthma

Dr. Elam's statements are very accurate. Most patients with asthma have a controllable condition and as long as proper procedures are followed you can move forward with surgery.

Asthma and Rhinoplasty

All surgical procedures require clearance when a special medical condition is present. Properly managed asthma is not a contraindication for rhinoplasty surgery. The anesthesiologist will discuss this with your treating physician and surgeon and set a good surgical and recovery plan for you. Most asthma patients are required to bring their asthma medications with them on the day of the procedure in case needed during the recovery room phase. Best regards!
