Can someone with spasmodic dysphonia get a rhinoplasty? i have a neurological disease effecting my vocal cords. am i still a candidate for rhinoplasty even though i have a pre-existing condition?

This : This is a good question. Yes, you could still undergo the rhinoplasty procedure. Special considerations for anesthesia may be necessary depending or your degree of illness, but this is not a limiting factor. Be healthy and be well, james m. Ridgway, md.

Spasmodic : Spasmodic dysphonia shouldn't affect your ability to have rhinoplasty. The main issue is to make sure that your overall health is good enough to undergo anesthesia for the procedure.

You : You can have a rhinoplasty despite your spasmodic dysphonia. The anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist should be aware of your condition so they properly maintain your airway during and immediately after the surgery.

Yes: Spasmodic dysphonia should not effect your ability to get a rhinoplasty, but ask your neurologist to make sure there are not other contraindications.
