Medical reasons on why a doctor won't perform 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.

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.

List would include any major medical problems. Like DVTs, HBP, anemia, etc. If you could be more specific in your reasons?

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.
