Is having a mole next to your nose problem for people wanting to get a rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

I was wondering whether having a mole right next to my nose will cause complications if I were to get rhinoplasty. I am worried that my mole will be in the way (and I do not want to get my mole removed). Have included picture for reference. Thank you

Dear viasmoll,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi, and thank you for your question with photo.The mole you have will not have any effect on the surgery, as no incisions need to be placed where your mole is. The only time incisions might be needed in this area is when the nostrils are flaring and they need to be narrowed. Even then, a highly trained and board certified surgeon would be able to preserve your mole if that was your preference.
