Have to get an MRI, can this harm a rhinoplasty result or other negative cosmetic effects?

Hi, and thank you for your question. If you have undergone rhinoplasty, an MRI should not harm or alter the results of your surgery. The procedure is non-invasive and does not involve radiation or physical contact that could potentially disrupt the surgical site. However, if there are any metal implants or splints used during your rhinoplasty, you should inform your doctor or the MRI technician before the procedure. Most surgical materials used today are MRI safe, but it's always best to check. In terms of cosmetic effects, an MRI does not have any known negative cosmetic effects as it does not interact with or alter your skin or tissues in a way that would cause changes to your appearance.

The magnet in an MRI machine is very strong, however, if something is not magnetic, like cartilage, it will not move or warp in the presence of such a magnetic field. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Unless your cartilage is made of iron you will be fine. Same with your fat. MRIs are as safe as listening to your radio.
