The decision to have nose surgery is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will fulfill your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.
Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications.
The risks include:
* Rupture of small surface vessels of the nose
* Infection
* Poor wound healing
* Anesthesia risks
* Bleeding (hematoma)
* Nose asymmetry
* Cardiac and pulmonary complications can occur in longer surgical procedures and may be associated with the formation of, or increase in, blood clots in the venous system
* Change in skin sensation (numbness)
* Nasal airway alterations may occur after a rhinoplasty or septoplasty that may interfere with normal passage of air through the nose
* Nasal septal perforation (a hole in the nasal septum) may develop but is rare; additional surgical treatment may be necessary to repair the nasal septum but in some cases, it may be impossible to correct this complication
* Pain, which may persist
* Unfavorable scarring
* Skin contour irregularities
* Skin discoloration and swelling
* Sutures may spontaneously surface through the skin, become visible or produce irritation that require removal
* Possibility of revisional surgery
