Rhinoplasty Contraindications
Active BDD, recent isotretinoin use (6-month wait), active infection, incomplete facial growth (<18 years), and uncontrolled systemic disease are rhinoplasty contraindications.
General reading about Rhinoplasty Contraindications does not replace a rhinoplasty and nasal surgery examination; meaning comes from personal findings. Active BDD, recent isotretinoin use (6-month wait), active infection, incomplete facial growth (<18 years), and uncontrolled systemic disease are rhinoplasty contraindications. Age, expectations, symptom duration, side pattern and previous procedures change the weight of assessment. The breathing complaint is assessed with septal support, valve openness, turbinate volume, nasal skin, facial balance and trauma-revision history. This entry organizes the this term details that belong in consultation notes. The first message for the finding is that the finding becomes meaningful through history, examination and selected tests: Rhinoplasty contraindications are divided into absolute and relative. This keeps online information from replacing personal diagnosis.
A this entry visit gathers the current complaint, previous treatment experience and patient expectation into one clinical file. The key question is whether examination supports that story or suggests another explanation. External nasal form, rhinoscopy findings, endoscopic view, photo angles and functional complaints are compared in the same clinical file. Septum, turbinate and valve findings are interpreted with sinus comorbidity, older surgical traces and the daily breathing goal. When the clinical point is assessed, the short definition, patient wording and objective findings are read together: Relative contraindications: uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, active smoking, anticoagulant therapy (manageable but increases risk), unrealistic patient expectations, and inadequate social support. Higher-risk possibilities are considered first, then the next clinical step is chosen. Conclusions rely on coherent evidence rather than one isolated finding.
Observation, medication, supportive care, procedures and surgery are treated as stepwise options in the dictionary entry. Each step is matched with diagnostic certainty and patient safety. Planning brings septal correction, turbinate strategy, valve support, graft use, osteotomy and tip balance into one frame. Before a care path is chosen for this topic, expected benefit, alternatives, recovery, possible complications and the later review plan are discussed in the same visit. The aim is a proportionate decision that preserves function.
Follow-up for this term varies from patient to patient. Age, overall health, medication, previous operations, comorbidities and functional expectations influence review timing. During recovery, edema pattern, crusting, tape-splint adaptation, breathing sensation and symmetry balance are compared regularly. Patient counselling for the finding aims to prepare the right questions without replacing personal diagnosis with online information, recognize safety signals and decide with examination findings. During the clinical point care, the dictionary entry assessment with possible septal hematoma, increasing obstruction, bleeding or infection clues is recorded as a warning-sign note.
Assessment of this topic is more efficient when the patient separates what changed, what limits daily life and which symptom may be a warning sign; the final conclusion still depends on personal examination and current findings.
In the patient file, this term context: the examination priority is linked with patient goals; examination findings remain central.
In the consultation note, the finding context: current symptoms are not mixed with report wording; examination findings remain central.
Before the next reading, this entry context: current symptoms are not mixed with report wording; examination findings remain central.
In the patient file, the clinical point context: current symptoms are not mixed with report wording; examination findings remain central.

Contraindication Screening
Every rhinoplasty candidate should be assessed with BDD screening questions. Radiological bone age assessment may be required for age verification. Internal medicine consultation for systemic diseases and medication history for isotretinoin history should be queried.
Contraindication Management
Psychiatry consultation is requested when BDD is suspected; surgery is postponed until BDD treatment is completed. A 6-month waiting period is mandatory with isotretinoin use. In uncontrolled systemic disease, surgery is not planned until the disease is under control.
Risks When Contraindications Are Ignored
Surgery in a patient with BDD leads to exacerbation of the disorder and deep dissatisfaction accompanied by repeated revision requests. Surgery performed during isotretinoin use significantly increases wound complications. Uncontrolled systemic disease raises anesthesia risk to an unacceptable level.
When to Seek Evaluation
Every patient with a planned surgery should inform their surgeon before the operation date if there is any suspicion of a contraindication — new medication initiation, active infection, or changes in mental status.
