Can I have rhinoplasty with Hashimoto's and possible dermatomyositis?

Asked By:lenazo in Jacksonville, FL

I have Hashimotos, and I recently have begun to suspect dermato as well because of Gottron's papules and a very elevated creatine kinase. I just broke/fractured my nose last night and a dorsal hump appeared immediately. What kind of clearance or evaluation do I need before a surgery? Do thyroid antibodies matter? If there are any specific tests that would be so helpful. I also have rosacea on the face, which may mean that my autoimmune disease affects the skin on my face.
