Answer: Essential hypertension and rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. For the safety of the anaesthetic as well as the safety of surgery, the blood pressure needs to be well-controlled before the treatment. It is possible to proceed to surgery but it is important to understand that the post-operative bleeding and the related swelling could be more significant. To help the surgery, it is possible to discuss with your cardiologist or general practitioner slight increase in the blood pressure management taking you towards a generally lower blood pressure than the target as long as it remains safe and avoids you feeling dizzy or faint. This will decrease the tendency to swelling postsurgery and with that also decrease somewhat the risk of infection. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty also decreases the amount of swelling and bruising

Answer: Hypertension And Rhinoplasty Great question. The short answer is yes. The longer answer is it depends. Most surgeons are okay if the top number is under 180-190, however the higher your blood pressure the more likely that you will have bleeding during or after surgery which may make things more challenging during recovery. If there is ever concern, I would certainly let your surgeon know and this can often be optimized before surgery to lead to the best outcomes. Hope this helps and best of luck,Kyle Kimura, MD
