98 lb pounds - lost weight due to being sick but will try to put on weight before surgery.
Answer: Does weight pose a risk when undergoing surgery? In this case being a bit underweight for a rhinoplasty Hello,Thanks for your question. If you have recovered from your illness with normal bloodwork, you will probably do just fine for a small operation like a rhinoplasty. Your overall health is the most important thing to consider when determining safety for surgery. Your results won't be affected by your weight.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Weight before rhinoplasty Dear Dawn321,you should be healthy to have a elective surgical procedure. It would be the best to be at your ideal body weight. If you are not at your goal weight or your weight is not stable, you should hold off on surgery. i would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Pre Op clearance Thank you for reaching out. I would suggest you stay in close contact with your surgeon and let them know about your illness and weight loss, he/she will likely have you get blood work prior to surgery to make sure you are clear for surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Kim

Answer: Too thin? Unless you are six feet tall, then no, this poses no risk to your surgery. Lucky you. Stay in shape.

Answer: Does weight pose a risk when undergoing surgery? First of all, it's important to be healthy with a height and weight proportionate and in good nutritional balance. Patients that are significantly overweight can have anesthesia issues, so it's always best to be close to your ideal body weight. Being slightly underweight is acceptable. Look up your own BMI, or body mass index
