Can chin augmentation under local anesthesia be done while pregnant?

It is generally recommended to avoid any elective surgery, cosmetic or not, while being pregnant.  While cosmetic surgery is relatively safe, there are risks, and it is better to avoid any of these risks affecting the fetus in a pregnant woman.  I would recommend waiting to have your chin augmentation until after your pregnancy and when you have finished any possible breast feeding.  

Elective surgery during pregnancy is generally avoided. In the unlikely event that there were complications, for example an infection, then systemic antibiotics would be required and and in some cases these antibiotics have been known to affect the developing baby. I would recommend to wait.  

Purely elective aesthetic surgery of almost any type is not going to be done on a pregnant patient. While the risks to the developing baby may be small, no one can say it is absolutely zero risk. 

You can’t find the information because most pregnant women and plastic surgeons would not consider having elective cosmetic surgery while pregnant.Is there a risk to the child?In reality probably not very much.Does it seem appropriate Or like a good idea? No not really.No not really. what’s the hurry?Have your child, finish breast-feeding if that’s in the plan recover then focus on your facialHave your child, finish breast-feeding if that’s in the plan recover then focus on your facial Aesthetic needs.It seems like a reorientation of priorities is in order.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Since chin implant surgery is elective, I would avoid it until you have recovered from pregnancy.  Best wishes!
