Rhinoplasty with Uveitis?

Hello and thank you for your question. That should not be a problem as long as you obtain clearance from your treating ophthalmologist. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

As long as you get clearance from your ophthalmologist before undergoing rhinoplasty surgery, there’s no issue for us performing the surgery

If you're ophthalmologist feels that rhinoplasty surgery would not affect your uveitis, then consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Undergoing a rhinoplasty with uveitis should not be a problem, but it's always best to get a letter of clearance from your ophthalmologist prior to elective cosmetic surgery. It would also be best not to have an inflammatory process going on while you're undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure next to the eyelids
