If you’re pregnant, your focus is undoubtedly on your health and the safety of your baby. But what happens to your well planned and already scheduled rhinoplasty? If you had already lined up a nose job before you found out that you were pregnant or are considering getting one soon, here’s some help with deciding whether or not you should go ahead with your plan or wait it out.

Getting Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty procedures may be performed for a host of reasons, some aesthetic and some functional. Cosmetic reasons for rhinoplasty could be that you want to make the nose or nostrils more proportionate to the rest of the face or to correct crookedness. Sometimes, a rhinoplasty is needed for functional purposes. If you have been having breathing trouble, for instance, you might need a nose job to correct a problem with your nasal structure. A nasal obstruction may need to be dealt with so you can breath better and more easily. In such instances, you’ll need to discuss options with your cosmetic surgeon as well as your gynecologist to decide on a course of action.

Pregnancy and Precautions

When you are pregnant, you are typically advised a little extra caution around many medical procedures and certain treatments. However, to check if you are a candidate for rhinoplasty and whether or not it is safe for you to have the plastic surgery done while you have a baby on board, it is best to ask your doctor.

Procedures that involve the use of general anesthesia warrant caution when you are pregnant because of possible side effects or complications that might put your life and the baby's at risk. Elective plastic surgery, in general, is not done when a woman is pregnant due to the possible risks. A board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to answer these questions and let you know what to do.

Consult an Experienced Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon

Instead of second-guessing your decisions, it is wise in such situations to get the opinion of a trained professional. For instance, if you are in the Toronto area, board-certified facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Jamil Asaria can help with any questions or concerns you might have. Going with someone who isn't certified can put you and your baby at undue risk. Even if you aren't pregnant, when it comes to plastic surgery, a skilled hand, a surgeon with a great track record, and a team that's reliable is crucial for safety as well as to ensure an aesthetically appealing result that meets your expectations. When you have another little life that's involved, the right choice of surgeon becomes doubly important.

Practice Policy Update Regarding COVID-19

Dear Patients:

At FACE Toronto we are committed to protecting the safety of our patients, staff, and the general public while maintaining our high standard of quality care. As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have made changes to our patient care practices in accordance with all provincial and Public Health recommendations. Our team has been working diligently on enhancing our safety protocols to protect the well-being of our patients, team members, and families. We would like to highlight how we are providing a safe environment for you and our team:

  • We will be pre-screening all patients that are scheduled to come into our office for any symptoms of COVID-19. We will ask patients to stay home with symptoms of COVD-19, chronic lung disease, severe asthma, serious heart conditions, and uncontrolled type 1 diabetes. A mandatory Covid-19 consent form must be filled out before arrival to the clinic and temperature checks will be administered upon entering the building.
  • We have implemented a policy for the safety and testing of our staff members including daily screening and temperature checks. We will be maintaining physical distancing as much as possible throughout the office for staff and patients.
  • The timing of patient visits has been adjusted in order to limit the number of people in the office at a given time and to allow for enhanced disinfecting and cleaning protocols we have put in place in between patients.
  • We request that patients come on their own to all appointments unless absolutely necessary. We are not servicing any walk-in patients and not allowing visitors or children to accompany any patient.
  • For your safety all of our staff will be wearing masks when interacting with patients in the office and routine hand-washing is required.
  • We request that you wear a mask. If you do not have a mask, a mask will be provided. Hand sanitation stations will be available upon entering and throughout the office.
  • We are pleased to offer virtual visits as an option for non-urgent appointments. The software we have in place provides appropriate safety and privacy for the interaction.
  • We have increased our in-office cleaning. All areas of patient traffic are regularly cleaned throughout the day. All treatment rooms are cleaned between every patient encounter. All chairs and table tops in the waiting room as well as treatment rooms will be wiped down between patients, including counters, keyboards and door handles. Our credit/debit card terminal will be disinfected after each use. We have also enhanced the air filtration quality in our space to provide patients with surgically clean air.

We are so excited to welcome you back and look forward to continuing to help our patients look and feel their best! We encourage you to reach out to our office now to schedule your appointment. Please feel free to contact our team by phone at 416-479-4244 or email at [email protected].
