I have a keloid/ bump from piercing inside my nose - can I still get rhinoplasty?

sandykdMar 5, 2020
I had a nose piercing since August, and I just took it out because I noticed I developed a bump on the inside of my nose (it was fine before but I have been messing around/ trying to change it recently which I think caused it). Hopefully it will go away now the piercing is out but if it does not can I still get rhinoplasty in May? Also does this mean I am more likely to develop scar tissue post-rhino?
