I have had a nasal cauterization in the past. Can I still get a rhinoplasty surgery?

Asked By:aj90190

When I was a kid, I had nasal cauterization due to frequent nose bleeds. Many years later, I wish to get a rhinoplasty but I am wondering if the nasal cauterization might in any way lead to complications with the rhinoplasty surgery. Thanks for the information.
