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 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!

Pregnancy may cause swelling in the face, making the nose appear a bit different but it should not affect the shape and the structure of a nose permanently at all. Things should go back to normal once the pregnancy is over and the swelling is gone.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Hello and thank you for your question. Pregnancy does not alter the shape of  your nose or rhinoplasty results permanently. Best,

That is an interesting question! Facial swelling is not uncommon during pregnancy, but this issue will resolve itself after pregnancy and does not cause any permanent changes on your face. Therefore, it does not change the outcomes of rhinoplasty.

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.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
During pregnancy, it is not uncommon to demonstrate swelling of the face which may temporarily alter nasal shape. However, the underlying nasal structures are unchanged. After delivery, as the swelling subsides, the nose will return to its pre-pregnancy shape. 
Best wishes...

This is a great question! Luckily the answer is no. Any changes to your nose during pregnancy such as swelling are not permanent changes. 

 During pregnancy, your facial features including your nose will be more swollen, but  your nose should revert back to its normal size after your pregnancy

During pregnancy, if you have major swelling, your facial features may appear to change but, after weight loss, should revert. The nose itself would not change per second.
