Asked By:Terrific845270 in New York, NY

I am thinking on having a rhinoplasty but i was diagnosed with a chronic fatigue symdrome aka myalgic encephalitis last year (my symptoms are miId and i take no medication). I would like to know if its a conterindication to a closed rhinoplasty. If not, is there issues with the healing process, are there any differencies in term of cosmetic results compared to a non me/cfs patients. Thank you for your help.
