Would getting a septum piercing negatively affect my ability to have a Revision Rhinoplasty in the future?

Asked By:Matt in GA in Miami, Florida

I have a botched rhinoplasty due to uneven bridge (one side is lower than the other height-wise) and pinched nostrils (they look 'deflated'). I am therefore considering getting Revision Rhinoplasty in the future. However, in the short term I was interested in a septum ring piercing for my nose. This would create a hole in my septum I guess. I'm just wondering: would getting a hole in my septum from this piercing negatively impact ability to get Revision Rhinoplasty in the future?
