Am I able to do a forehead reduction despite my condition?

Question

I’ve been diagnosed with IIH (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) since 2017! I’m currently on Diamox to treat it. I’ve been self conscious about my forehead for years and wanted to know if this will affect me getting the SHAprocedure.I also have an intravenous stent for my IIH.

Hi there. I do a lot of these procedures. As long as your doctor can clear you for surgery it is ok.  We can adjust the hairline, forehead, bone, eyebrows, and anything necessary at the same time.

Hello. High blood pressure during or after surgery increases your chances of bleeding, which increases the chance of complications. Therefore, I recommend that you postpone the surgery until it is completely under control. There is no obstacle to having surgery once it is under control.
