What are the possible side effects of nose surgery?
Very rarely as a result of nose surgery, blood vessels may burst under the surface of the skin of the nose, causing tiny red marks to appear. Scarring is also possible but is dependant on the type of rhinoplasty performed. With closed rhinoplasty, scars are imperceptible because the incisions are made inside the nose. With open rhinoplasty, scarring may be visible. In some infrequent cases, patients have temporarily lost their sense of smell.
