I’m wondering if it’s safe enough to take a covid vaccine early in the recovery period of a rhinoplasty?

Question

Hi!, rhinoplasty healing process and covid vaccine?

Ryan E. Austin, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, you should be fine to get your covid vaccine soon following your rhinoplasty surgery, as long as you're feeling well enough. You could have side effects from the vaccine so it's really more a matter of feeling strong enough to deal with those. I would speak to your surgeon if you have any concerns about the details of your recovery as they may have their own post-operative guidelines that you should follow carefully.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Because there is a risk of short term side effects after the covid vaccine, I would recommend waiting about a week after your rhinoplasty before having the vaccine.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

I think it depends on how long after the rhinoplasty. I would probably wait three weeks.there’s no evidence for this. But you may get side effects from the vaccine and you don’t want that while you’re recovering.
