I realize that I would have to remove the jewelry to have the surgery done; yet my question is if I would have to get it redone or if there is any chance that the surgery can be done and leave the hole for the piercing. I just am planning to get a small bump removed from the middle/ bridge of my nose, yet I have my septum pierced, (obviously). I know how the surgery is preformed, medical advice; would it be possible to but lower and not go though the piercing hole?
Answer: Rhinoplasty & septum piercing Hi there, thanks for the question. Rhinoplasty surgery can be a complicated surgery, and it is hard to answer your question without an exam and further discussion about what your goals are, and 3D imaging.My frank opinion is that if you are considering rhinoplasty surgery, whethere or not you will need to repierce your septum should be a more minor concern.Achieving your surgical expectations, healing well, and ensuring stability to your entire nose would be the primary goal.Your surgeon may be able to repierce it in the future once everything has healed well if the mucosa is interrupted with a septoplasty or you need cartilage grafts, etc.If you have a minor surgery that does not need to interrupt this are of the nose, then it is possible that the piercing hole would be avoided.Good luck!Sincerely,Dr. Michelle Spring

Answer: Would I have to re-pierce a septum piercing if I had rhinoplasty? Dear ManicBabyIn general, the piercing of the septum can be left alone, however, only the surgeon performing the surgery can answer that in your specific case. For access to your dorsum, the area of your piercing is generally not incised.

Answer: Re-pierce the septum after a rhinoplasty Unfortunately, the incisions to gain access to the nose are directly where the piercing is located. To avoid an infection or cyst formation of the nose, the previous piercing hole should be removed, and the nose can be re- pierced several months after the procedure.

Answer: Would I have to re-pierce a septum piercing if I had rhinoplasty? The worst thing a Surgeon can do is to compromise his surgical techniques. The goal for any Rhinoplasty is to achieve the best possible result. Just removing the hump is not realistic without addressing the associated changes that it will produce in the rest of the nose. Therefore, all aspects of the nose in my opinion must be addressed and if your septal piercing is in the way it must go. After a period of time if you a re convinced that re-piercing is essential- you may proceed.

Answer: Septum piercing in rhinoplasty. It's unlikely a rhinoplasty would affect the nasal septal piercing. The device could be reinserted several days after the operation.
