Can pregnancy after rhinoplasty affect the result/shape of my nose?

Hi Woodr1km,

 Facial swelling is considered a common occurrence during pregnancy, as many women report changes in their facial appearance during this time. However, this swelling does not affect the structural elements that give your nose its shape, size, and projection. The swelling usually recedes after giving birth, so these changes should not affect the results of your rhinoplasty.

 Best of luck

Thank you for your very interesting question.  Fortunately, if you have a rhinoplasty prior to pregnancy, pregnancy will not affect the result.  I think you should feel very comfortable pursuing a rhinoplasty prior to your child-bearing years.  Good luck and I recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty.

Thank you for your question! Any change in the way the nose or face looks during pregnancy is almost always due to swelling which will go down and does not permanently alter the actual shape of the nose. We wish you the best!
