Is It Ok to Get a Septum Piercing then Get A Rhinoplasty Later on in Life? (photo)

It is certainly acceptable to have septum piercing then undergo rhinoplasty later in life.  Any preexisting hole from the septal piercing will need to be closed prior to undergoing elective cosmetic nasal surgery.  The septum piercing will need to be removed and left out for 6 months after the rhinoplasty to prevent infection.

Septal piercing will not interfere with later having a rhinoplasty as long as there is no problems following placement of the jewelry such as infection or tissue loss secondary to vascular compromise. Fortunately, such complications are very unlikely.
