Anemic & beta thalassemia - is it safe to get a rhinoplasty?

Thalassemia trait is not going to affect rhinoplasty. However your surgeon might want to get clearance from a hematologist in advance.

Dear Cheerful900480,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get clearance prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

There is no reason for you not to have a Rhinoplasty, despite your Anemia & Thalassemia.
I would suggest you have an Iron infusion, instead of Iron tablets - you get about a year's supply of iron intravenously , in 20 minutes, which avoids the problems and the nuisance of daily tablets.
In Australia, we would have a Hematologist (blood specialist), not a GP, and not an ENT or Plastic surgeon), advise you on this.

Great questions.
Ideally your nemoglobin should be about the normal level prior to your surgery so that your health is at its optimum. This will ensure that your body copes well with anaesthesia and can heal as good as it can.
beta thalassemia trait should not be of any signifcant concern, of course you should inform the anaesthetist about it.
Best wishes,

You need at least 10 hb level before the surgery. You need hematology consultation before the surgery.
