I've had the left side of my nose cartilage pierced for five years prior to Rhinoplasty, and removed the piercing for the sake of the operation; I'm currently one month post-op. I like my nose with or without it, but I am very fond of my piercing! Minimal tip work was done, but it is still swollen. I had a closed rhinoplasty where most of the work was done through the right nostril, and the piercing is on the left side. Would it be safe if I were to put it back in at this stage of recovery?
