Hey, Im a female. I've always wanted to undergo a Rhinoplasty although have been extremely terrified of going under GA due to my medical condition that I was born with called Bartter Syndrome which affect my potassium levels. My potassium levels with daily medication ranges from 3.5 - 4.5. My kidneys eGFR is usually normal. I spoke to my Nephrologist about wanting to do a Rhinoplasty and he said it was very safe although I need to be monitored for a few days after the surgery. Although Ive asked my specialist I'm still a bit worried and don't know if I should book my Rhinoplasty procedure.
