Does it effect the result or recovery in Rhinoplasty surgery if I have very low vitamin d level?

Question

Hi Doctors,I am facing difficulty now as flights + hotels are booked for my rhinoplasty surgery in Korea, however I found out from my recent medical check result my vitamin D level is very low less than 10 as normally people has 30 above. The point is - HOW important is the vitamin D to do with a rhinoplasty sugery?? I want to know does it effect for recovery or is it just gonna take longer that is Okay for me, however I do not want scars. Tomorrow is deadline for cancel trip. Thanks a million

Mengyan, If one eats a balanced healthy diet no supplements are needed. Dietary calcium is thought to be less of a factor to blood levels. Our body has so many ways to regulate and preserve our health. Just take the time to discuss all of your concerns with your surgeon. It should not be a problem.

Hi Mengyan. Low vitamin D levels should be fine as long as cleared by your surgeon. Good luck with your trip.

Direct that question to your surgeon.  It should not be a problem if you have a medical clearance from your primary care physician.  Best wishes!
