How soon after a c-section can you have rhinoplasty?

Some women develop a lot of facial and nasal swelling after they become pregnant and have a baby. Generally it is best to wait for all of your facial and nasal swelling to dissipate before considering rhinoplasty surgery. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

How soon after a C-section can you have a rhinoplasty? A lot depends on how much blood was lost during the C-section. In order to undergo an elective rhinoplasty we usually like to see a patient’s hemoglobin at about 11 or higher. If a significant amount of blood was lost during the C-section it may take several months to get back to a normal blood count. If the blood count is OK then 2 to 3 months to recover from the surgical trauma, the hormonal changes, and numerous other changes associated with surgery and childbearing should be sufficient in a young otherwise healthy person.
