Is Nexplanon Birth Control Safe For Someone With FNH?

I have a focal nodular hyperplasia and was using Ortho novum 777 oral contraceptives for 3+ years, is this the cause of my FNH? I switched to a Nexplanon birth control implant a month ago, is this a safer method of contraception for someone with FNH to prevent growth and complications?
