hi everyone my bmi is low 16s, i’m 100 pounds and 5’6. i was wondering if it’s safe to get a rhinoplasty at this bmi or if i should aim to gain weight before my surgery. would i need to gain to a bmi of 18.5?! i unfortunately suffer from an eating disorder so gaining weight is difficult for me but, i will do so to not put my life at risk during the surgery. the last blood work i had done, came back perfectly fine.
