If a patient has liver disease which is under control and is doing great, can they have a rhinoplasty?

Question

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. If you are cleared for surgery by your medical doctor, then you may be a candidate for rhinoplasty surgery.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

If your medical physician believes you can safely have anesthesia for rhinoplasty, then odds are that your surgeon will accept to perform it.  Be sure to disclose the problem to all of your physician for your own safety, and be sure you have your medical physician's blessing before surgery.

You will need the appropriate medical clearance from your physician who is managing your condition, as well as the appropriate bloodwork.  If clearances are obtained and your labs look good, you will be able to proceed with your surgery.  Good Luck!

It is possible to undergo cosmetic surgery including a rhinoplasty with liver disease, but it is best to get clearance from your hepatologist before electing to undergo cosmetic surgery under general anesthesia.  For more information and many examples, please see the link  and the video below

I think that if you have liver disease you will need medical clearance to make sure that it is safe to undergo a procedure. Best of luck.
