Can you have a rhinoplasty with low iron?

Thank you for your question.

The main consideration the whether you have mild or more severe anaemia. It is quite likely that you would be able to proceed treatment as planned but you need to discuss your concerns promptly with your surgeon and the anaesthetist and they can guide you with specific advice based on the blood test results.

Hello. It is important to take the recommended treatment for your low iron levels and have it measured again prior to your rhinoplasty in March. It is possible that your iron levels can increase by that time, in which case you may proceed with the rhinoplasty if it is determined safe by your doctor. Good luck!

Thank you for the question. It depends on the degree of anemia, iron levels and iron replacement regimen. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.
