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.
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.
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.
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.
