Question

Frank P. Fechner, MD · Answer

Before rhinoplasty, a thorough medical evaluation will ensure that the procedure can be performed safely. We like to ensure that our patients' health is at its best at the time of nasal cosmetic surgery

William Portuese, MD · Answer

First of all, it's important to get your anemia and syncope under control by her primary care physician before elective cosmetic surgery on the nose. Depending upon how severe the anemia is, the surgery should probably be held off until  your red blood cell count is normalized. Probably best to get a letter of clearance from  Your primary care physician before the rhinoplasty procedure

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You need to be evaluated by your medical doctor to determine your reasons for being anemic and then treated appropriately before considering any surgery.

Stuart H. Bentkover, MD (retired) · Answer

Usually, these are conditions that would disqualify someone from have cosmetic surgery.  I am sure that your physician either knows or is looking into the cause of  your anemia and syncope.  Until these conditions are corrected, I would not recommend any type of cosmetic surgery, especially rhinoplasty.  While rare, the most common complication of rhinoplasty is bleeding.
