I have always wanted a nose job and had a consultation last year however it wasn't good timing. I am now 5 months pregnant and will need to postpone it further. I was wondering how long I should wait after baby is born to have one? Thanks

Answer: Rhinoplasty after Childbirth Dear CourtneyA95, It would really depend on the amount of time that you plan to breast feed as you will be taking medication before and after your surgery as well as the anesthesia which would not be recommended during breastfeeding. Speak with your OBGYN and they will give you a release date. Generally speaking six months post surgery is adequate time. Please be aware that babies can often have flailing arms and tossing of toys that should be avoided post surgery. Congratulations on your upcoming birth. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
