Can I get rhinoplasty after having radiation on nose due to cancer. I have a tumor in nose so Im getting radiation on it. Doctor doesnt recommend a nose job because he says it would be worse due to scar tissue and that tissue doesnt heal and would make a hole. I really want rhinoplasty its crooked and bulbous tip.
