I'm no doctor, but I had surgery on my nose for a deviated septum and I wore a full cover face guard when I did sparring. I never had a problem with wearing it at tournaments or belt promotions.
One thing you might consider, though, is I think some people ARE more tempted to go for your face if they see you wearing protection.
I tried a Krav class in my area. I couldn't afford it, but It was a great workout.
