Can People with Graves Disease Still Do Surgery?
I've been suffering with Graves disease for a year now, I want to get rhinoplasty and a lip lift done, however I am worried that the wounds will not heal for me and I will end up getting nasty scars. Usually for me whenever I get a small cut my body would take a longer time to heal and most of the time it would turn into a scar

Graves Disease and Rhinoplasty
If you have isolated Graves disease and this has been controlled with meds or surgery or ablation or a combination, you may be a candidate for surgery. This all comes down to control of the disease and the recommendations of your endocrinologist. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
