Can I get a septum piercing after Asian Rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I had asian rhinoplasty about 2 months ago and was wondering if a septum piercing is possible now that my nose is changed. My tip was augmented using rib cartilage, so instead of that squishy piece of skin in between my nostrils it is stiff cartilage. Once my nose is completely healed, about 1-2 years from now, can I get this pierced?

definitely consult with your surgeon.  If an implant was used , it would not be good to pierce the implant since it is usually in the vicinity of the anterior membranous septum.

Hi there, It's best to consult with your plastic surgeon to see if the augmented area of your nose would be affected by the piercing as he/she would have the best knowledge about your specific procedure.
