Pregnant women, those planning to become mothers, and new mothers-to-be often want to turn to rhinoplasty, a surgical method, especially when they experience breathing problems. Since the subject concerns motherhood, sensitivity is naturally required, which raises some questions in people's minds. In this week's blog post, we want to answer these questions that mothers and mothers-to-be have in mind.

Is It Harmful to Have Rhinoplasty Before Pregnancy?

Since the recovery process after rhinoplasty can take up to a year, pregnancy may occur during this recovery period. This is why many women feel anxious about rhinoplasty before pregnancy. During pregnancy, a woman's physiology changes, and many areas, including the nasal tissues, swell. Since rhinoplasty also causes swelling in the nasal tissues, when the two coincide, breathing can become much more difficult. Having rhinoplasty during this period can be a situation that leads to complaints. Since pregnancy is already an important and challenging process, it is not desirable for rhinoplasty-related complaints to add further difficulty. Considering all this, women who are planning a pregnancy are advised to have rhinoplasty after completing these plans. Another recommended option is to have rhinoplasty after the birth and breastfeeding period. This is because problems such as a crooked nasal bone or nasal polyps can significantly affect breathing. Proper breathing is important for the health of both the baby and the mother. Breathing properly also supports many other things, such as good sleep. All of these are important for a healthy pregnancy. The underlying problem should be resolved at its root, the recovery period should be completed, and pregnancy plans should then be resumed. Since the recovery period takes a long time, pregnancy plans should be arranged accordingly. Pregnancy can take place 6 months after rhinoplasty.
