If I get rhinoplasty, can it effect the hole of my nose piercing at all?

Question

If im not exactly sure on this, they only work from the inside right? Also, just incase it can, would I be able to repierce it again after?

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

You shouldn't have piercings for at least 2-4 months. Then, if you talk to your surgeon and get approval, there is no obstacle to having a piercing.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

The exact answer to your question depends on what kind of rhinoplasty you are having. If you are only removing a dorsal hump, for instance, that procedure probably would not affect the placement of your nasal piercing. If you are undergoing tip refinement, or narrowing your nose, it's quite likely that the position of your piercing hole would change. However, you can always re-pierce your nose after surgery or even have it done (and the other hole closed) as part of your procedure. Just be sure to be clear about your hopes and expectations during your consultation with a facial plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.

A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish making all of the required changes to the nose with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose.  Plan on re-piercing the nose at least 3 months after the nasal surgery

The location of your nasal piercing will not affect our rhinoplasty from being able to be done. It may need, however,to be repierced at at later date but not before three months after the surgery.

David A. Sherris, MD · Answer

Your piercing will probably close after rhinoplasty. It can be redone after your surgeon clears you after surgery.
