So, I'm diabetic since I was 13, now I'm 17 and turning 18 in a few months. I've taken really good care of my treatment, so I asked my regular doctor and she said that I can get a nose job if I keep my treatment as I have all these years, but I forgot to ask her, if it is dangerous to get a chin implant at the same time, is it too much for a diabetic patient?
