How Soon Can I Get Pregnant After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Pregnancy will not impact the results of the rhinoplasty surgery and it will not interfere with the healing process. You will be prescribed antibiotics right after your operation, therefore it's safe to get pregnant as soon as you stop taking your prescription. At my practice, I want my patients to take their antibiotics for 7 days. After that, you can safely get pregnant. Good luck.

if you are going to have a septoplasty and you think you are ever going to want a rhinoplasty have them at the same time.  a septoplasty often involved removing cartilage.  rhinoplasties often require cartilage grafts.  if you do them together the cartilage that is removed can be used for the grafts.  if you have septoplasty then a rhinoplasty at a later date there is less cartilage available for grafting.  as far as how long to wait to get pregnant - i wouldnt think you need to wait too long.

Hi Renai,
You can get pregnant soon after rhinoplasty; we usually recommend waiting two weeks before having vigorous exercise. Light exercise after one week.
If you wish to correct both cosmetic and functional (breathing) concerns at the same time, septorhinoplasty is the answer. If you only want to improve your breathing, then there is a non-surgical method of correcting breathing problems by using Somnoplasty which uses radiofrequency to reduce the tissue volume of the inferior nasal turbinate. The procedure is quick, easy, and performed in the office under local anesthesia.
Patients who are suffering from nasal obstruction during pregnancy often benefit from Kenalog injections in their inferior nasal turbinate, which is safe when performed by an experienced and meticulously careful surgeon. The treatment should only be performed by a well trained nasal specialist. Relief from the breathing obstruction can be felt within a day or two.
Do choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck with your new nose and baby. Be well.

As you are planning a functional airway surgery (septal deviation repair) as well as a cosmetic rhinoplasty, you should be able to be pregnant without too much trouble. The increased fluid of pregnancy may initially give you trouble but probably not to the extent of your previous pregnancies. In my estimation most internal swelling of the nose disappears after 6-8 weeks, so getting pregnant after then would be o.k.
More importantly, you should make sure that you are far enough into the post-operative period to be off all narcotics, etc. so that these drugs can't can affect a developing embryo. And, as Dr. Seify recommended, make sure you aren't pregnant on the day of surgery to avoid the risk of anesthetic danger to a developing embryo. Good luck with the new nose and the new little one :-)

It should not pose a problem, but remember that during pregnancy, you will have some weight gain in the form of fluid retention. Therefore, you will have areas of your body swell, including your face, and perhaps your nose.
Don't be alarmed and just hang in there. Having said that, some women don't get any water retention at all, and may just depend on your body.
Good luck!
