Can I Get a Nose Job if I Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Hey everyone,
I've been considering getting a nose job for quite some time now to address some insecurities I have about the shape of my nose. However, I recently got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and it's making me wonder if it's safe for me to undergo such a procedure. I'm concerned about how the arthritis might affect the healing process or if there are any additional risks I should be aware of. Has anyone here with rheumatoid arthritis undergone a nose job or consulted with a plastic surgeon about it? I'd really appreciate any insights or advice you could offer. Thanks!

Dear SometimesLu,

I echo the importance of consulting both your rheumatologist and a plastic surgeon experienced in working with patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This condition can introduce additional considerations for surgery, such as medication management and potential risks of inflammation and delayed wound healing. Your medical team will work together to ensure that any procedure is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Hi there, While I haven't undergone a nose job with rheumatoid arthritis, it's essential to consult both your rheumatologist and a plastic surgeon. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and assess any potential risks or complications. Take your time to gather information and make an informed decision. Best of luck!

Hello, good day to you, After my rhinoplasty, the doctor recommended washing my nose with a saline solution, but I've seen recipes for making it at home on some websites. Do you think it's safe to use these homemade solutions? I'm worried about getting an infection if I use these DIY solutions.
