Does elastic skin make me a poor candidate for rhinoplasty or any other cosmetic procedure?

Just because you do not currently have other symptoms does not mean that you do not have EDS. There are multiple types within the syndrome and you likely have one of them. If you do have a variant of EDS any surgery can be dangerous because of the friability of the tissue so it tears and is damaged by minimal trauma and the slowed healing process. Without a complete work up for EDS any surgeon would be playing with fire performing elective surgery on you.I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

Thank you for the photo. My initial reaction is that this should not be a problem but bring it to the attention of your surgeon so on examination he can give a more exact recommendation.Dr. Corbin
