What Are The Risks With Rhinoplasty

Filed Under Atlanta Georgia Rhinoplasty |

Like any surgery procedure rhinoplasty comes with risks.  If you choose a credible and experienced plastic surgeon the risk is much less. Either way, you’ve got to educate yourself on all possible risks and complications that may occur. Some of the more common complications are nosebleed, possibly a negative reaction to the anesthesia, and quite possibly some infectious reactions.

When your surgeon gives you specific pre and post surgery instructions, follow them exactly and you won’t have to deal with too many complications, if any at all. The risk of infection is always there like any surgery, but again, listening specifically to your cosmetic surgeons instructions and advice will minimize this occurrence dramatically.

Some of the risks and complications of your rhinoplasty surgery are:

Bleeding: Experiecning bleeding after your surgery is very normal. In fact, it may last up to 4 weeks. You must do the best you can not to blow your nose or pick it if you want to keep the bleeding to a minimum.

Burst Blood Vessels: After your surgery, you may experience a very small burst of blood vessels that look like tiny red spots on the very surface of your nose skin. They spots may become permanent. The chances are minimal, but they could happen on rare occasions.

Abnormal Shape: Unfortunaetly you may come out of surgery with an abnormal nose shape. This could be a surgery issue or the patient didn’t follow surgeon instructions to keep the head elevated, or quite possible sleeping on one side could do it as well.

Infection: Infection around the wound area can easily happen but the chances are under 5%, so follow instructions and it won’t happen anyways.
