Can I have rhinoplasty while still breastfeeding my 2 month old?

Hello,I recommend that you wait to have rhinoplasty until you are finished breastfeeding.  I don't advise going under any type of sedation while breastfeeding since you should not risk the baby ingesting any residual anesthesia that can be passed through breast milk. Enjoy your new baby!Be Well,Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC

It is not advisable to undergo general anesthesia and then breast feed. Some of those medications will linger in your body fat and also with a young baby you do not want to add more stress in your life. What if you get a complication and you have to take care of your baby?RegardsDr. J
