Can I wear a glass or plastic retainer/nose ring during a septoplasty?

adriamarie
I got my nose pierced three months ago so it is obviously not healed, but I need to get a septoplasty and possibly a turbanant reduction. Could I wear a plastic or glass nose ring? I really don’t want to get it repierced being as I have dealt with a lot of keloids and irritation so I can only imagine piercing over the scar tissue.
