I'm going through my regular yearly check up and I wanted to know what are the medical reasons why a doctor wouldn't perform a Rhinoplasty. Thank you
Answer: Medical Reasons To Prevent Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is an elective aesthetic procedure and, like other surgical procedures, carries certain risks. If you have serious systemic problems with your cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, or renal systems, sometimes it isn't reasonable to consider undertaking a surgical procedure which you do not need to have. If there are concerns about a patient's health, I will send him/her to their individual Doctor/ Cardiologist in order to obtain medical clearance. Active anti-coagulation, recent heart attack, uncontrolled hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes would include a few conditions which would disqualify a patient from consideration.

Answer: Risks All surgeries have some risks. If the benefits of the surgery for your health outweigh the risks then you should proceed. Rhinoplasty is a completely elective procedure so anyone with serious medical problems such as poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension, heart or lung problems, immunosuppression or bleeding disorder would not be a candidate.

Answer: Why rhinoplasty can't be done Everyone below gave good reasons for turning down a patient's request for rhinoplasty.Also one has to consider patients with unrealistic expectations as not being a good candidate. Aside from the obvious psychotic, anxious and depressive conditions, which raise a red warning flag, is the disorder called Body Dysmorphic Disorder (or Syndrome) aka BDD or BDS. Most of these patients, are not good candidates for elective aesthetic surgery.
