Is Kenalog Injection Safe for Pregnant Woman?

Question

I am pregnant and had rhinoplasty 6 mons ago but my nose look bigger than my old nose.

Rod J. Rohrich, MD · Answer

It is not a good idea to have steroid injections if you&rsquo;re pregnant without the approval of your Obstetrician. I think that one should wait until you&rsquo;re done with your pregnancy. In general, I do not do Kenalog steroid injections except for specific reasons with 1.thick skin, 2. secondary rhinoplasty, or 3. indurated hard tips. This must be done very carefully in a meticulous fashion to prevent skin atrophy problems.

Corticosteroid injections may endanger both mother and fetus and it is always best to check with your obstetrician before embarking on something like this.
