Complications from rhinoplasty
Like any surgery, rhinoplasty can be associated with some rare complications. These include:
- Some bruising around the nose and face is common.
This is transient and disappears within 7-12 days
- Some individuals may develop skin necrosis or allergy
to tape material
- Difficulty breathing for a few days from swelling in the
nose
- Open rhinoplasty may have a surgical scar but the closed
procedure has no visible scar. With the open technique the
scar is typically just on the underside of the nose.
- Repeat (revision) rhinoplasty maybe required in some cases.
Depending on whom one talks to, this figure ranges from 2-15% of individuals. The revision procedure may be required to correct the remaining deformity. Michael Jackson had numerous revisions and the result was obvious.
It is also possible that the cosmetic results of the surgery will not be what you wanted (there are always some individuals who are not satisfied).
