Can I get a rhinoplasty if have a benign tumor?

Question

Can i get rhinoplasty if i have a benign head n neck schwannoma

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

Schwannoma are typically benign tumors. As long as your schwannoma is not on your nose or within the field of the surgery for your rhinoplasty, there is no reason that you can’t have a rhinoplasty. Your plastic surgeon should be aware of your schwannoma. Best wishes.

Yes that should be no problem but you always will have ot check with your surgeon. ......................

Hello and thank you for your question. It really depends on the exact nature of this tumor. You would definitely want to get medical clearance from the physician who is managing it.  After that, I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Some Schwannomas in the head and neck may be related to the facial nerve or the auditory nerve, and these may require intervention before considering rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
