Can I undergo rhinoplasty if my blood pressure is high?

Thank you for your inquiry! Hypertension would need to be controlled by medications prior to any surgery that requires general anesthesia!

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
