Rhinoplasty and fertility - should I wait until after having the baby?

April 30, 2023
Asked By:rjohns518

Based on ultrasounds and hormonal testing, I have somewhat low ovarian reserve for my age -32 turning 33 in May. I will likely not be trying for a baby for another 3-4 years. Would getting a septorhinoplasty in the meantime hurt my fertility? I have heard that inflammation anywhere in the body can harm fertility, and I know that the recovery process for rhinoplasty is long. Should I wait until after having the baby to get a rhinoplasty?
