Can antidepressants affect a rhinoplasty result at all? Please help

Question

Can anti depressants cause swelling or affect the nose in any way at all post rhinoplasty? Is it safe to start taking them?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

There are very few antidepressant medications that may lead to anesthesia-related complications. A call to your surgeon or psychiatrist may be the best source of advice in your particular situation. I am not aware of any antidepressants being associated with excessive postoperative swelling. Hope you're happy with your new nose, and I hope this response is helpful for you. Dr Joseph

As far as I know anti-depressants will not cause nasal swelling. However, you should consult with the physician who is prescribing anti-depressants.All the best,Talmage Raine MD
