Hey Real Self! So I planning on getting a nose job but theirs just one thing that stopping me. Durning my childhood I have a heart condition called pat stv , it used to make my heart beat fast. Long ago I did the procedure and nothing ever happened after except a little palpitations now and then. My mom thinks that getting a nose job is bad for my heart. I feel perfectly normal. What do you think?

Answer: Rhinoplasty and a heart condition It is important to get clearance from your cardiologist before undergoing elective cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure. Having a rhinoplasty procedure is not bad for the heart, as long as the issues you may be having are treated appropriately

Answer: IS NOSE JOB BAD FOR YOUR HEART Dear melair, In my practice any patient who has any past history of heart issues will be have a cardiology appointment and after testing is performed the cardiologist will either clear the patient for surgery or not. Rhinoplasty surgery in itself has no additional risk to a patient with a heart condition. All of my surgical procedures are performed in my private fully accredited outpatient surgical facility with an anesthesiologist to ensure patient safety. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
