I missed my rhinoplasty surgery date as I was admitted to hospital for a very mild stroke. I am a 45 yr old otherwise healthy female. Is it safe to go under general anesthetic after suffering a TIA? How long

Answer: Rhinoplasty and medical conditions Hi there.You will need to get clearance from the physician who is looking after you for your TIA, and from your GP. Your surgeon cannot answer this for you.With any surgery there are risks, and these need to be kept to a minimum, particularly when the surgery is elective.I hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty after TIA I am sorry to hear about your mild stroke or TIA. Your health and safety come first with any elective surgical procedure such as rhinoplasty. Discuss your circumstances with your primary care provider and the physician treating you for your TIA. That should be able to give you an idea of when you can have the surgery. In some cases a blood thinning medication is prescribed after a TIA and you would need to be able to come off of that before surgery. I wish you a speedy recovery. Cody Koch
