Should I stop using NuvaRing (birth control) before my post rhinoplasty steroid injections (Kenalog, I think)?

Question

If yes, how long should I stop using NuvaRing or any other birth control pills before having the injections? Thanks.

Hello SalvameaBirth control does not pose any risk for a steroid injection. I would not advise in my practice for you to stop birth control for this particular injection. Hope this helps, Deepak Dugar MDScarlessNose Institute of Beverly Hills

Dear Salvamea, It is always best to check with your surgeon and ask them any questions related to medication. With that said I would not have my patient stop birth control for a kenalog injection. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
