There are risks associated with surgery of any kind, including rhinoplasty. However, you should know that when your procedure is performed by a qualified facial plastic surgeon, complications are uncommon. In the rare instance that you experience a complication, you may require some form of treatment.

Infection: Infection is a risk associated with any kind of surgery, but it is rare following rhinoplasty. Antibiotics
are routinely prescribed to prevent infection.

Bleeding: Excessive postoperative bleeding can occur.

Burst blood vessels: Small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red dots on the surface of the skin on your
nose. This is more common if you have rosacea, or if you're having revision rhinoplasty. Although it may be
permanent, it can be treated with vascular lasers.

Scarring: If an incision is made on your columella, or if incisions are made to reduce the width or length of your
nostrils, there is a minimal risk of obvious scarring.

Irregularities under the skin: It's possible for irregularities under the skin to be visible. Any underlying
irregularities are more visible if you have thin skin.

Asymmetry: This may occur due to no fault of your surgeon. Post-operative scarring within the nose can cause
it to appear uneven from one side to the other. In addition, the nose is a three-dimensional object that can heal
in unpredictable ways.

  • 10.000$ isnt worth it if there wud be risks of it what if they do a bad job and that monney goes for nothing

  • Ok I underwent a surgery for deviated NASAL SEPTUM when I was 15 years old and since it was not corrected properly I again underwent a surgery when I was 18 years old. Before the surgery I looked good because I had a long nose without a hanging collumella but after the surgery i have a twisted, bumped and hanging collumella nose. Please give me some instructions I can take so that the next time I do a Rhinoplasty my nose gets better

  • Are revision rhinoplastys the same price for most doctors as it was for the initial rhinoplasty?

    What are common policies that surgeons have on revision rhinoplasty? Do any surgeons give them for free or at a very low price?

  • how much does it cost?
