How soon can I get a nose piercing after a rhinoplasty?

I’d recommend 10 weeks before piercing the nose after a rhinoplasty procedure but be sure to check with your specific doctor.

Thanks for the question. You should not have piercings for at least 2-4 months. Then, if you talk to your surgeon and get approval, there is no obstacle to having a piercing. 

Nose piercing can damage the underlying cartilages.  I see patients I operate on with a hole in the lower lateral cartilage as a result from the piercing.  

The pros and cons of nasal piercing should be discussed with your rhinoplasty surgeon.  Generally speaking, piercing of the nose can take place at 8 weeks after a primary rhinoplasty.
