Can I give birth naturally after my nose surgery?

Question

I had rhinoplasty surgery and I heard it’s not good to give birth naturally, is that truth? Or there is no problem?

Adam Bryce Weinfeld, MD · Answer

You should never undergo rhinoplasty while pregnant.  However, if your surgery was done a while ago, giving birth naturally should have no affect on your past rhinoplasty.

John Zavell, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no contraindication to having natural child birth after having a rhinoplasty.  Cosmetic surgery should not be performed during your pregnancy, but otherwise it is ok.

Hello and thank you for your question.It is firmly forbidden to do undergo a plastic surgery during your pregnancy because anesthesia and surgical procedures can have a very negative effect on the developing embrio.  Normally having had a rhinoplasty in the past doesn't mean you are unable of giving birth naturally. What you might have heard is related to ht fact of giving birth very soon after a nose job,before your healing process has completed. That world cause bleeding and possibly harm your well-being. In your case you are totally able of giving birth naturally.Hope you find this information helpful.Best of luck.Ozge Egun M.D

Having had a rhinoplasty in the past should not influence what type of delivery you have for child birth. It would be fine to have a natural birth delivery after having had a rhinoplasty.

Michael Roskies, MD · Answer

I don't believe you are asking if you can have plastic surgery during your pregnancy yes? If the question is asking if you can have a natural birth any time after a rhinoplasty then the answer is yes. Your nose will swell during pregnancy without a doubt - this is true for operated on and non-operated on noses. There is absolutely no contraindication to giving birth naturally after rhinoplasty. I see you're in California. If that were the case, then I imagine 80% of babies born in California would be born via c-section!
