Rhinoplasty when patient has history of retinal detachment
It is certainly acceptable to undergo a rhinoplasty after having had a retinal detachment. Have your ophthalmologist take a look at your retina to make sure there are no recurrent detachments going on prior to embarking on a rhinoplasty, but the retinal detachment and the rhinoplasty should be unrelated events.

If you had a prior retinal detachment and it has healed, it is probably fine to undergo a rhinoplasty. Certainly touch base with your ophthalmologist first.

Retinal detachment
On first thinking about your issue, I see no reason not to proceed. The actual surgery is really away form your eye. However, to be safe see your eye doctor first

Nasal surgery
As far as the risks to your retina this should be discussed with the retinal surgeon and your Plastic Surgeon. Also the exact details of your rhinoplasty may certainly alter the risks.

Rhinoplasty after Detached Retina
Fortunately, it sounds like your vision has been stable and the retina healthy since the detachment 6 years ago. I could make recommendations , but if you were my patient, I would consult with your retina specialist.
