Ovarian cyst leak - is it safe to proceed with revision rhinoplasty under local anaesthesia?

Question

I have an appointment for a revision rhinoplasty and I found out a few days ago that I have an ovarian cyst that is leaking fluid into my pelvis. There are no major symptoms other than pain that fluctuates on different spots of my abdomen. The rhinoplasty will be performed under local anaesthesia, is it safe to proceed with the surgery?

Ruslan Zhuravsky, DO · Answer

This is something that your rhinoplasty surgeon would have to discuss with your gynecologist. While doing a surgery under local anesthesia avoids the risks of anesthesia and any interference with the cysts, the concern is more for any issues occurring at the same time. For example, you do not want the cyst to be unstable with a risk of worsening or rupture during or after the surgery. Make your rhinoplasty surgeon aware of this issue and provide them with your gynecologists information. Good luck!
