Nose job surgery and the risks, is it safe?

 

A nose job surgery can be one of the best facial surgery’s that can be recommended for anyone that is interested in changing how they look, especially if they are not happy with the profile and symmetry of their nose.

Nose job risks

There is no surgical procedure that is completely safe with absolutely no risks involved and no complications.

Here are some risks that your surgeon will discuss with you during your consultation before your surgery.

 

Bleeding

It is unusual to experience after your surgery, but bleeding is possible. You should go to the emergency room to stop any bleeding if you are experiencing any after your surgery. This can be caused by high blood pressure, if your blood pressure is uncontrolled, before your surgery, you must use your medications to get it under control. Don’t use any drugs that cause bleeding, such as aspirin, for ten days before and after your surgery.

Infection

It is uncommon to experience an infection after rhinoplasty surgery, however, it will need to be treated with either antibiotics or hospitalization.

 

Scarring

Just like every other surgery, rhinoplasty can create a scar, however, the incision that is made during a nose job procedure will be very invisible and short. So it’s not necessary to have any worries about scarring.

 

Skin sensation change

It is common, for a short time, to experience a loss of sensation in your skin. This is completely unpredictable.

 

Edema

After your nose job procedure, you may need to take medications to help drain the fluids under your skin.

 

Allergic reactions

Any reactions to the tapes, blood products, and suture materials may occur. This can be treated with medications.
