Question:
I have high blood pressure and I’m interested in getting a nose job. I’ve heard that this can increase my risk of bleeding during surgery. Are there any other potential risks associated with high blood pressure that I should be aware of and how do I need to address them?
Answer:
High blood pressure in itself is often termed a "silent killer" since without any warning it can be causing heart, kidney or brain damage. Modern medicines can easily help the vast majority of patients prevent this but you need to go for check-ups! When properly controlled there is no significant increase in rhinoplasty risk.
