A member asked:
Is it safe for me to have turbinate reduction/septoplasty if i have lyme disease (which is weakening my immune system)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Septo/turbs: Lyme disease does not preclude you from having surgery. Discuss your disease with your surgeon. And be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
