Will Pregnancy Affect Rhinoplasty Swelling & Healing Process? (photo)

CSrhino
I had revision rhinoplasty about 6 months ago, my nose has remained very swollen, and I was patiently waiting and then found out I am pregnant in August! I did get a topical steroid injection once before I found out I was pregnant. My question is, will the pregnancy now permanently affect the healing and size of the nose? Or do I just have to wait longer? Is it safe to receive steroid injection to nose while pregnant? Thank you so much.
