My not be advisable. The nose has a very robust circulation and having fluctuations in your platelet count may not be the best situation for a potential rhinoplasty patient. Get several opinions from board-certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: Bleeding and rhinoplasty surgery
The nose is one of the most vascular or well supplied areas of your face. Even if you clot normally, you may need the extra platelets to prevent a delayed nose bleed after surgery. I would recommend that you obtain the medical clearance of a hematologist or blood specialist after your have consulted with your rhinoplasty physician about what needs to be done. I hope thisi information helps.
