Can I have an African American Rhinoplasty even though I have Sickle Cell disease?

BonnieJ23
I want to either get a full rhinoplasty or an alarplasty but I’m concerned about my sickle cell disease getting in the way of that. I have SC disease and I’ve had 1 mild crisis 8 years ago. I’ve heard that a nose job can end up in death of the nose due to poor blood circulation and I don’t want that to happen to me. I also don’t want to be rejected by a surgeon but if they think I’m not fit for the surgery I won’t go through with it elsewhere.
