Nose Reduction Risks to Watch For
April 9th, 2009 | by admin |There are risks (only minor ones) that can accompany nose reduction surgery. Following your plastic surgeons explicit instructions before and after the procedure will make sure that the risks and side effects are minimal. It is possible to have an adverse reaction to the anesthesia since you are under a general anesthetic. An anesthesiologist is always close by in the operating room to closely monitor you during the surgery. You also carry the risk of infection and nose bleeds. When your surgery is completed, you may notice small broken blood vessels on your nose. Many times these will clear up and go away on their own; however, some may stay permanently. They are minor, however and should not be very noticeable. Scarring does not generally occur in a Rhinoplasty procedure, unless the surgery is to narrow flared nostrils. If that is the case, two small incisions will be made on either side, causing small scars.
