Is Having Rhinoplasty Safe if You're Pregnant?

Asked By:barbaras1 in Illinois

What if you're pregnant and you're scheduled to have a Rhinoplasty for a deviated septum, will it be safe to push through with the surgery? I am pregnant and I have asked the doctor to do surgery on my deviated septum. Will the surgeon be able to operate on my nose?
