How long after septoplasty should I wait before piercing my septum?

Hi there,This a  great question. The best person to answer the question is your surgeon, as they can evaluate your healing. You won't want to risk scarring or infection from doing the piercing too early.As I understand it, the piercing is placed between the septum and the cartilages in the bottom of the nose (called medial crura). I think waiting 2-4 months should be enough, but will still recommend discussing with your doctor. Good luck!

 It is important not to interfere with the process of healing after a surgical procedure on the nose. It is probably best to wait 6 months before piercing the septum
