Allergic Rhinitis impact on rhinoplasty?

sweet_lavendarOct 3, 2022
Hi, I am considering a rhinoplasty in next 2-3 months. I am prone to allergic rhinitis and need to take an anti histamine now and then. Are there any precautions I need to start taking prior to the surgery. How close to surgery can I still take the antihistamines? Thanks
