Risks of Rhinoplasty
All surgeries carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, or a bad reaction to anesthesia. Rhinoplasty may also increase your risk of:
- breathing difficulties
- nosebleeds
- a numb nose
- an asymmetrical nose
- scars
Occasionally, patients aren’t satisfied with their surgery. If you want a second surgery, you must wait until your nose is fully healed before operating again. This may take a year.
