Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan, head director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

Many people who have piercings before getting rhinoplasty

wonder if they can still use their ear cartilage.

​

Today, we will find out whether ear cartilage can be used

if you have piercings.

Can't I use ear cartilage for rhinoplasty if I have ear piercings?

The areas where piercings are usually placed are not the parts of the ear cartilage typically used for rhinoplasty,

so it shouldn't be an issue.

​

Even if there is a piercing in the area where the ear cartilage is harvested, a small hole of that size does not cause a major problem.

​

However, if the piercing has caused an infection and it is currently red and swollen, or if the cartilage has dissolved,

there may be cases where it cannot be used.

But this is not common, so you don't need to worry too much.
