How Soon Can I Try to Get Pregnant After Rhinoplasty?

Question

I have a rhinoplasty scheduled on sept 17 and an appointment with a fertility specialist for IVF October 31. Will I have given my nose enough time to heal before TTC?

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Your timing should be perfectly fine. One thing to anticipate is rhinitis of pregnancy. You will likely notice nasal stuffiness that develops during your pregnancy which is not related to surgery but the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. Best of luck with both your rhinoplasty and pregnancy. I hope this information is helpful.

Hi Aimee,

	As long as you are no longer taking medications there should be no issue with having surgery and getting pregnant 6 weeks later. At that time your nose should feel pretty good and it won't be uncomfortable as a baseline. Pregnancy can cause a significant amount of stuffiness in the nose, due to hormone levels, which rise in the first Trimester. If you still have swelling from surgery, this will add to that. However, there is no medical issue with the plan that you have set forth.

	Best of luck

Dear aimbeecabo,

	
		6 weeks should be plenty of time to space out between the 2 treatments
	
		Enjoy your new nose
	
		Also, let your surgeon know about your plans


	Best regards,

Looks like you have allowed 6 weeks, that is adequate time to heal following a Rhinoplasty, prior to your IVF. All the best.

Your timing seems to be okay for your attempted IVF.  If there are any concerns speak with your fertility physician.
