Plastic Surgery complications from being underweight?

December 3, 2014
Asked By:marimeeks in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, I am 24 years old and have a bmi of 16.5 (I'm 5'2" and weight 90 pounds) and was wondering if this will affect me if I were to get rhinoplasty?? With my weight, will this cause more complications? I am not anorexic, I've weighed 90 pounds since after puberty. If I'm able to have the procedure through local anesthesia, would there be less risks for me, or would the risks be the same as going under general anesthesia since i'm underweight? Thanks.
