What are the risks and possible complications of rhinoplasty?
While all surgery has risks, and rhinoplasty is no exception, these risks are minimal. Bleeding, infection and scarring may arise, as may irregularities from surgery or your body’s healing process. Secondary surgery is sometimes required. Short-term stuffiness following surgery is expected, though long-term breathing problems are rare. Risks of anesthesia are quite minimal.
