Providing that both conditions are stable, I see no reason why you could not have rhinoplasty? However, that is best to be checked and sinchronized between your plastic surgeon and ophtalmologist. Good luck.

Probably best to get clearance from your ophthalmologist before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery on her nose. Choose your rhinoplasty specialist wisely based on extensive experience

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Glaucoma and rhinoplasty: Glaucoma can be serious and should not be left untreated. Perhaps you should get your glaucoma and uveitis treated first then when your ophthalmologist is satisfied that you are stable have your elective rhinoplasty.
