Can I Have Rhinoplasty if I Have Crohn's Disease?

pjeffersen
As I understand, one needs to be in healthy physical condition with no medical complications to have cosmetic surgery. I am a male in my twenties with Crohn's Disease, currently under control with a daily dose of Imuran. I have a consult with a doctor in two weeks, however, I'm not sure if I should go if I will be told that no doctor will be willing to perform a rhinoplasty due to the increased possibility of infection, problems healing, or other factors. Will this be the case? Thank you.
