Is it normal to not have any pre-op testing done before a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Exquisite688548 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I’m supposed to have my rhinoplasty/septoplasty done in less than 3 weeks. All I had was a telephone visit to go over my health history (I live out of state), and that’s it. No blood work, ekg, scans, anything required. I’m not sure if this is sketchy. The surgeon does work in a hospital. I am 25, no known health conditions. I’m also worried because he seems to buy a lot of followers/likes. He is board certified and has good credentials, but idk if these are red flags.
