Metal piercings are risk factors for skin burn when cauterization device is used during surgery. This could occur even at distant sites even though with lower risk if further away.
Smoking of any kind can be detrimental to the healing processes in the nose or the body for any type of cosmetic surgery, including a rhinoplasty. In our practice, we perform rhinoplasty under general anesthesia with a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort.
