Can Someone with Hyperthyroidism Have Rhinoplasty Done?

Well controlled hyperthyroidism should not be a contraindication to rhinoplasty surgery. Best to have documented ( lab tests) well-controlled thyroid hormone levels for at least 3 months prior to proceeding. Your internist/endocrinologist will be your best resource when it comes to good advice regarding timing of the procedure. Best wishes.

The answer is yes, someone with hyperthyroidism can have a rhinoplasty
performed. The overactive thyroid would need to be under control prior to having
any surgery. In general, it is important to fully disclose the following to your
surgeon prior to having surgery:

1) Any medications you are currently taking
2) Medical issues that may affect the surgery

Scarring is not something to worry about with rhinoplasty as long as the columellar incision (if the procedure is open) is performed properly. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

 It's always best to make sure your thyroid levels are within the normal range, and not being too high or too low. This will affect the healing process and most anesthesiologists will not place patient's to sleep under anesthesia unless there is an emergency. Best to have  an endocrinologist adjust  your levels, and then proceed with  the elective cosmetic nasal surgery. Closed rhinoplasty technique would avoid  an external incision on the nose.
