Rhinoplasty: What Are The Risks?

Picture by Aza Raskin

No surgery is 100% completely without risk. This includes rhinoplasty or a “nose job” as it is more commonly referred to. Some of the risks are obvious such as nose bleeds, anesthesia complications and a botched surgery, which may occur even to skilled plastic surgeons. Knowing the risks is essential if you want to be an informed patient. Some of the other issues you may want to consider are how well you heal, the time it may take you heal, the pain involved and the risk of infection. You can minimize your risks by finding out all the information ahead of time, talking to others who have had the procedure and making a list of questions for your Doctor. A good doctor will answer all your concerns and advise you if you are a good candidate for this type of surgery. If you are convinced that the benefits of this surgery will outweigh the risks, go ahead with confidence that you are doing what is best for you. Support from your family and friends will help create a positive attitude that will lessen your chance of the risks you may face.
