Rhinoplasty Complications
Possible Complications Associated With Rhinoplasty
Possible complications associated with rhinoplasty may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Although not common, sometimes, a second procedure may be required to correct a minor deformity that occurs as a result of the initial rhinoplasty.
- As in any surgery, there is a risk of infection or reaction to the anesthesia. Nosebleeds can also occur after surgery.
- Sometimes, small blood vessels may burst causing tiny red spots on the nose to surface. The spots are usually minor in appearance but can be permanent.
- With the "open" procedure, there is the possibility of scarring on the base of the nose.
