I Am Diabetic, Am I in Danger if I Get a Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Alann in Miami

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? Or it doesn't matter? Or just because I have diabetes my post-operation recovery will be slower? thanks to all the doctors.
