Thank you for your question. Allergic rhinitis does not prevent you from obtaining a rhinoplasty. In fact, you maybe able to combine a medical procedure (septoplasty/turbinate reduction) with the rhinoplasty to help with your allergy symptoms. This should allow you to breath better even in the worst allergy season. Good luck!!!!
The short answer to your question is no, allergic rhinitis is not a contraindication to rhinoplasty. You should be aware, though, that your symptoms of allergic rhinitis (runny nose, postnasal drip, etc.) may transiently worsen although the nasal obstruction, if you have any, should be improved if the rhinoplasty addresses the functional aspect of your nose as well. You should discuss this with your surgeon including when it is safe to resume your medications for allergic rhinitis. Best wishes!

There will be significant congestion after the rhinoplasty procedure, so it will be very difficult to treat that with steroid nasal sprays. Antihistamine pills such as Claritin can offer a alternative therapy. These are available over-the-counter. Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon wisely based on extensive experience producing natural results

I would caution you however that these results are in situations where the patient has discernible nasal obstruction. I hope this helps.

If you had the nose reset there will be some swelling concentrated over the bridge is your nasal tip was not affected by the surgery. It will take several months to know for sure whether this settles completely or not. In some instances, the effect of the surgery is a reduction in projection of...

Hello and thank you for your question. I am sorry to know that you are taking a while to get used to your new look. The swelling post rhinoplasty takes months and even up to a year to settle and the final shape of the nose will become apparent only after that. So it would not be advisable to d...
